INTRODUCTION. (*)

The extent of this portion of the Catalogue will be sufficient to explain the
delay that has necessarily taken place in its production. In preparing the
former portions of the library for sale, the Manuscripts and the specimens of
Ancient Bindings distinguished themselves generally even by their outsides
from other books, with which they had got mixed up, and, except in some few
instances, were readily to be found at the periods fixed for the two former sales.
In a very weak state of health to undertake an examination, even the most
rapid, of so considerable a mass of books as remained, in order to select those
which under every circumstance it was indispensable should be reserved, so as
not to renounce entirely the hope of future labours, was an overwhelming task
which had often to be interrupted, and which, in spite of various renewals, almost
created a fear that strength to complete the undertaking might be withheld.

For good or for evil the labour is ended. The owner retains about ten
thousand volumes, and bids farewell, not withoiat some regret, to those of which
this Catalogue furnishes a description. The Collection about to be sold is
composed for the most part of Books relative to the Sciences (more particularly
Mathematics), and their History, taken in its most extended sense, that is to say,
comprising also many works of biography, bibliography, literary history, and even
general literature, necessary to shed light on the march of the human mind.

Persons not in the habit of devoting themselves to researches of this sort,
will hardly believe that so considerable a number of books could have Ibeen
amassed for the purpose of a special study, and may perhaps be led to imagine
that a love of bibliographical curiosities, rather than the desire of studying the
history of science, gviided the formation of this new library, which has been
gathered together in England within a few years only. Allow the owner to
repel such a supposition. With the exception of those booka which every
collector is sometimes necessitated to buy in parcels or lots for the sake of
procuring a volume long sought for, and thus met by accident mingled with
many others, every work has been selected solely for one object, and to augment
the sources of research and study. In our day, a host of works devoted to
any special science, allows every man who has received a certain amount of
education, to trace for himself more or less easily the current of several branches

* For reasons similar to those stated in the Catalogue of Manuscripts it has been
thought advisable to give this Introduction in Frencli and English.

INTRODUCTION. (*)

En voyant I'etendue de ce Catalogue, on s'expliquera comment la publication
en a pu etre retardee. Les Manuscrits et les anciennes reliures de cette
Collection se distinguaient generalement, meme a I'exterieur, des autres livres
avec lesquels ils se trouvaient confondus, et, sauf quelques exceptions, on a pu
facilement les trouver au moment de les mettre en vente. Mais, avec une sante
tres aflfaiblie, entreprendre de soiimettre a un examen, meme fort rapide, la
masse si considerable de livi-es qui restaient, pour cboisir ceux que, dans toute
hypothese, il etait indispensable de garder afin de ne pas renoncer entierement
a I'espoir de travaux futurs, c'etait un travail accablant, qui a du etre souvent
interrompu et qui a fait craindre, a plusieurs reprises, qu'on n'eut jamais la
force de I'acliever.

Bien ou mal, ce travail est termine. Nous gardons dix mille volumes environ,
et nous nous separons, non sans quelque regret, de ceux dont on trouvera
la description dans ce Catalogue. La collection qiii va etre vendue se compose,
en grande partie, de livres relatifs aux sciences (aux matbematiques en
particulier) et a leur histoire prise dans son acception la plus etendue, c'est a
dire comprenant beaucoup d'ouvrages de biographic, de bibliograpbie, d'histoire
litteraire et meme de litterature generale, propres a jeter quelque lumiere sur la
marcbe de I'esprit bumain.

Les personnes qui n'ont pas I'babitude de ce genre de recbercbes croiront
avec peine qu'un nombre si considerable de livres ait ete reuni dans un but
d'utilite speciale, et Ton sera peut-etre porte a croire que la curiosite bibliogra-
pbique plus que le desir d'etudier I'bistoire des sciences a du presider a la
formation de cette nouvelle bibliotheque rassemblee depuis peu d'annees en
Angleterre.

Qu'on nous permette de repousser une telle supposition. Excepte ces livres
que tout collectem* se trouve force d'acbeter parfois en paquets ou en lots, afin
de se procurer le volume qu'il a longtemps cberche et qu'il rencontre par hasard
mele a beaucoup d' autres, tons ces livres ont ete rassembles dans un meme but,
et pour augmenter les sources de recbercbe et d'etude. De nos jom's, une foule
d'ouvrages speciaux permettent a tout bomme qui a reju une certaine education
de se mettre, plus ou moins facilement, au courant de plusiem's branches de

of knowledge. In physics as well as morals, everything tends to specialize ;
and as, without taking the pains of making their own bread, most persons
find it more convenient to satisfy their wants by purchasing from the baker, so
there are heaps of other things which are sought ready-made in some Besume or
other treatise devoted to its special subject, having more regard to the faciHty of
the means of obtaining the required knowledge than to the verification of the
results. "We may ask however if, whilst attending entirely to this principle of
the division of easy labour which the description, now become famous, of the
manufacture of a needle has rendered popular, it be possible to ^^reserve to the
mind that strong superiority and that amplitude of views, which it would
acquire by cultivating with perseverance a field more vast and more beset with
difficulties ? Even without entering into any such discussion, it will suffice to
remark, that whilst limiting his reading to special works no one can flatter
himself with being able to discover the traces, so often effaced, of that
mysterious path followed by the human mind, especially at those epochs when
didactic books, if not absolutely wanting, existed only in a very small number,
and to transmit them to posterity only the most limited means existed. Men
who have devoted themselves to the study of antiquity are not ignorant that
the reading even of all the ancient books which remain would in no way be
sufficient to make us acquire even a moderately correct idea of the state of
the knowledge of the ancients, and that medals, inscriptions, figured monuments
of every kind, must be thoroughly studied and examined to supply this defi-
ciency of wiitten records. Not very long ago, in an ancient idol dis-
covered in Germany, the proof was found that the old Teutons knew and
employed the expansive power of steam. Perhaps wise agricxilturists, who in
our days apply themselves to the introduction of machinery for field-labour, are
far from imagining, that even in the time of the Romans, the Gauls employed a
most ingenious machine for reaping. It is from the medals of Domitian, and
not from the writings on natural history, we have learnt that the two-horned
rhinoceros, whose existence was long denied, was known to the Romans, and it
is by carefully examining the unintelligible inscriptions the Norsemen left on
rocks, and not by the reading of treatises on geography and navigation that
we have been led to think that the Scandinavians, several centuries before
Columbus, had landed on the shores of North America.

It would be erroneous to suppose that such discoveries cannot take place
except in regard to peoples, whose hterary and historical monuments have
in great part disappeared. Notwithstanding the invention of printing— not'
withstanding the immense number of books which for four ceutmies have been
continually getting into circulation — there is a host of curious and useful inven-
tions, of interesting facts, which, in default of having been announced and
described in special publications, have hardly been noticed in their own day, and
which are now either totally forgotten, or wrongly attributed to those who
reproduced them long after the original inventors, Without doubt this

que, sans prendre la peine de faire son pain chez soi, chacun trouve plus
commode de se le procm-er tout fait cLiez le boulanger, il y a ime foule d'autres
clioses qu'on cherche a aclieter toutes faites dans tel Resume, ou dans tei autre
ouvrage special, ayant egard plutot a la facilite des moyens qu'a la perfection
du resultat. On pourrait se demander si, en etendant a tout ce principe de la
division du travail facile, qu'une description, devenue celebre, de la fabrication de
I'aiguille, a rendu populau'e, il est possible de conserver a I'esprit cette superiorite
forte et cette amplem* de 'vues qu'il acquiert en cultivant avec perseverance un
champ plus vaste et plus herisse de difficultes. Mais, sans entrer dans une
telle discussion, il suffira de faii-e remarquer qu'en se bornant a la lecture des
ouvrages speciaux, nul ne pourrait se flatter de retrouver les traces, si souvent
effacees, de ce chemin mysterieux que I'esprit humain a suivi, aux epoques
surtout ou les livres didactiques, s'ils ne manquaient pas absolument, etaient
en tres petit nombre et ou Ton avait des moyens si bornes pour les transmettre
a la posterite. Les hommes qui se sont livres a I'etude de I'antiquite n'ignorent
pas que la lecture meme de tous les anciens ouvrages qui nous restent ne suffit
aucunement pour nous faire acquerir une idee mediocrement exacte de I'etat
des connaissances des anciens et que medailles, inscriptions, monuments figures
de toute espece, on doit tout examiner, tout etudier, pour suppleer aux ecrits qui
nous manquent. II n'y a pas tres longtemps que, dans une vieille idole decouverte
en Allemagne, on a trouve la preuve que les anciens Germains connaissaient
et employaient la force expansive de la vapeur. Peut-etre les savans agricul-
teurs qui, de nos jours, s'appliquent a introduire les machines dans les travaux
des champs sont loin de s'imaginer que, du temps des Romains, les Gaulois
employaient une machine fort ingenieuse pour faire leurs moissons, C'est dans
des medailles de Domitien et non pas dans des ecrits sur I'histoire naturelle,
que nous avons appris que les Eomains connaissaient le rhinoceros bicorne dont
on a longtemps nie I'existence, et c'est en examinant avec soin des griffonnages
indechififrables, graves sur des rochers, et non pas en lisant des traites de
Geographic ou de Navigation, qu'on a ete induit a penser que les Scandinaves,
plusieurs siecles avant Colomb, avaient aborde sur les plages de I'Amerique
septentrionale.

On serait dans I'erreur si Ton supposait que de telles decouvertes ne peuvent
avoir lieu qu'a I'egard de peuples dont les monuments litteraires et historiques
out en grande partie disparu. Malgre I'invcntion de I'imprimerie, malgre le
nombre immense des livi'es qui depuis quatre siecles ont ete continuellement
mis en la circulation, il y a une foule d'inventions curieuses et utiles, de faits
interessants qui, faute d' avoir ete annonces et decrits separement dans des
ouvrages speciaux, ont ete a peine remarques dans leur temps et qui sont
actuellement ou tout-a-fait oublies ou attribues k tort a ceux qvd les repro-
duisirent longtemps apres les premiers inventeurs. Sans doute cela a tenu

has sumetimes been owing to the precocity of an invention thrown, in its germ,
in the midst of a society not yet in a state to appreciate the discovery
or to ch-aw a profit from it ; but more often this indifference or forgetfuhiess has
been caused by the manner in which these discoveries — these germs — are to be
foimd mixed up and almost lost in the midst of totally different subjects.
Up to the present time hardly any attention has been given to these ancient
discoveries, except when analogous inventions, made in more modern days, have
given the hint to curious and clear-sighted minds. This has happened in regard
to the satellites of Jupiter, known to the Chinese prior to Galileo, as well as
in regard to certain labours of the Hindoos, who in the theory of numbers were
in advance by several centuries of the day when Euler reproduced the same
results in Europe, but it must in no ways be supposed that these forgotten
discoveries are always to remain without influence on the future. Besides,
independently of a design for immediate and practical utility, he, who wishes
to apply liis mind to the study of the progress of human knowledge,
ought to propose to himself a problem of a higher order. He ought, in
attentively examining the road pursued by inventors, to endeavour to discover,
track by track, at least as far as is permitted, their method of arriving at such
invention. To neglect the path by which human nature ought to have passed
to arrive at such or such a discovery, — for example, not to stop at a mathematical
theorem, until at the hands of a Lagrange or a Gauss it has received a
definitive form, — would be to act as a naturalist who attempted only to study
insects under the shaj^e of beautiful butterflies, without giving the slightest
attention to the caterpillars, or to those less perfect larvae which at a later
period are to be transformed into those self-same lepidoptera. The study of the
progress of the human mind is surely of equal importance to that of entomology,
and no one will be found willing to admit that the transformations of an insect
are more worthy of interest than the successive developments of the human
thought. In the same ratio, by reason of the always increasing number of books,
as bibliography gains in importance and utility, and is seen to keep pace more
and more with literary history, so the interest which collectors attach to certain
books appears to increase in proportion to the degree of instruction they hope
to derive from them. It is to certain striking anecdotes — to some curious
peculiarities concerning the lives and labours of celebrated meh, unexpectedly
discovered in works till then neglected or little known — that these books most
often OAve their sudden rise in value. It is this that has pointed them out to
the attention of the well-informed collector. For example, it is very doubtful
whether the moral precepts contained in the Ricovdi di Monsignor Sahba da
Castiglione (1) would have hindered his work from falling into oblivion, were
there not amongst these precepts to be found many facts relative to Italian Art
in the XVIth century, and, above all, if therein had not been discovered the
anecdote, now become famous, of the equestrian statue, the work of Lionardo
da Vinci, having been destroyed at Milan by Gascon Archers. Who cared for

parfois a la precocite d'une decouverte jetee en gerine au milieu d'une societe
qui n'etait pas encore en etat de I'apprecier et d'en tirer parti ; mais le plus
souvent I'indifference ou I'oubli n'ont eu pour cause que la maniere dont ces
decouvertes, ces germes, se trouvaient confondus et presque perdus au milieu de
matieres tout-a-fait diflferentes. Jusqu'a present on n'a guere prete attention
a ces anciennes decouvertes que lorsque des decouvertes analogues, faites dans
des temps plus modemes, eurent donne I'eveil aux esprits curieux et eclaires.
Cela est arrive pour les satellites de Jupiter, connus des Chinois avant Galilee,
et pour certains travaux des Hindous qui, dans la theorie des nombres, ontdevance
de plusieurs siecles le jour ou Euler reproduisit les memes resultats en Europe ;
mais il ne faut nullement supposer que ces decouvertes oubliees doivent toujours
rester sans influence sur I'avenir. D'ailleurs, independamment d'un but d'utilite
immediate et pratique, celui qui veut appKquer son esprit a 1' etude des progres
de I'entendement bumain doit se proposer un probleme d'un ordre plus eleve. H
doit, en examinant attentivement les voies suivies par les inventeurs, cbercber a
decouvrir, autant du moins que cela nous est permis, la metbode d'invention.
Negliger le chemin que I'bumanite a du parcourir pour parvenir a telle ou telle
decouverte, ne s'arreter par exemple a un tbeoreme de matbematiques que
lorsqu'il a pris entre les mains de Lagrange ou de Gauss ime forme definitive,
c'est faire ce que ferait un natm'aliste qui n'etudierait les insectes que sous
la fonne de brillans papillons et qui n'accorderait auctme attention aux
cbenilles, aux larves moins parfaites qui se sont plus tard transformees
en ces memes papillons. L'etude des progres de I'esprit humain vaut bien
celle de I'entomologie, et Ton ne saurait admettre que les transformations
d'un insecte soient plus dignes d'interet que les developpements successifs de
la pensee bumaine.

A mesure que, par suite du nombre toujours croissant des livres, la biblio-
grapbie gagnait en importance et en utilite, on I'a vue marcher de plus en plus
d' accord avec I'bistoire litteraire, et I'interet que les collecteurs attacbaient a
certains livres augmenter en proportion du degre d'instruction qu'on en pouvait
retirer. C'est a quelques anecdotes piquantes, a quelques particularites curieuses

tliG Speculum Lapidum of Cammillo Leonardi (2) before an eminent man, M.
Panizzi, in liis small literary gem entitled " Chi era Francesco da Bologna,^''
thought of using in an vmexpected manner the substance of what Leonardi
had said about Francia, for whom, in this work, M. Panizzi has reclaimed the
invention of the letters termed Aldine Italic ? It is one of the characteristics of
our time that writers, making special researches, begin to comprehend, more
and more, the importance of that knowledge which may be denominated
collateral. Lord Macaulay has utilised to a degree, which most of the older
historians would have deemed impossible, the glimmering lights spread through
a host of writings which even their authors never dreamt of making historical
authority, and Lord Brougham has introduced into his admirable scientific
biographies the fruits of his readings as a Jurist and a Statesman. The history
of a learned Society may, as Mr. Weld has shown, not only become more inte-
resting, but also much more complete in points of vital importance, by the
judicious employment of what many grave authors in former times would have
designated " Gossip."

What has already been so suitably done for literary history will eventually
be carried out, having already been commenced, for the history of sciences.
Solely for the reason that there are more persons who read Shakespeare or
Dante than there are those who understand Copernicus or Fermat, it becomes
manifest why the interest attached to what may be termed " Curiosities of
Literature" is more common, and far wider spread, than that which is excited
by books, such as form simply an epoch in the history of science. Now,
however, the attraction offered by scientific writings is daily on the increase,
thanks to the labomrs of eminent men who have devoted themselves to such
researches; men — to cite only those of England — like Sir John Herschel,
Professor De Morgan, Dr. Whewell, or Professor Grant, with whom may
be associated the illustrious names of the ever-to-be-regretted Colebrooke
and Peacock. There is one branch of mathematics — namely. Arithmetic — ^the
history of which in these latter days has led to profound researches — to discus-
sions which have not been entirely free from anger. The interest attached to
works capable of clearing up the history of this base of mathematics has
recently received a totally unexpected increase, thanks, above all, to the laboiu's
of Professor De Morgan in England, and to the publications of Prince Bon-
compagni in Italy. Indeed, the former by his excellent bibliography of
^'■Arithmetical Books," as well as by a host of dissertations spread through
different seiials, but principally in the " Companion to the Almanac" has called
attention to a large number of books, which he has described with consummate
bibliographical skill, and analysed with that superiority which stamps his rank
amongst mathematicians, whilst with publications undertaken with a zeal and
liberality, never to be sufficiently praised, Prince Boncompagni, on his part, has
done much to shed a new light on the history of Arithmetic and Algebra.

d'Alde? C'est un des traits caracteristiques de notre epoque que les hommes,
qui font des recterclies speciales, commencent a comprendre de plus en plus
I'importance des connaissances qu'on pourrait appeller collaterales. Lord
Macaulay a utilise a un point que beaucoup d'anciens historiens auraient cru
impossible, les lueurs repandues dans une foule d'ecrits dont les auteurs n'avaient
jamais songe a faii-e ceuvre bistorique, et Lord Brougbam a introduit dans ses
admirables biograpbies scientifiques le fruit des lectures du jurisconsulte et de

xii INTEODUCTION.

The importance which, iu a bibliographical point of view, scientific books have
already acquired has been confirmed by M. Brunet, who in the parts already
published of the new edition of his invaluable Manuel du Libraire has justly
.rendered conspicuous under the articles '^Abbaco," '^ Algorithmus" etc., the
increasing value attached by collectors to this class of literature, and with
pleasure we learn from references that the succeeding portions, looked forward
to with impatience by the public, are to contain similar and nO less interesting
articles. Bibliographers like M. Brunet know how to appreciate the services
rendered to them by Amateurs fonning special Collections. For instance Mr.
Halliwell, who since has devoted himself to totally different studies, originally
made himself known to bibliographers by an extraordiary collection of scientific
works which furnished to him the means of illustrating by interesting publica-
tions certain points of the History of the Sciences in England.

In the portion of the Catalogue now presented will be found a large number
of books on Arithmetic and its liistory, nearly all grouped under the specific
heading '■'■Arithmetic^'''' some of which are of an almost proverbial rarity, such
as the '^ Ahbaco''^ (3) of Treviso (1478), and the Calandri (4), a work equally
interesting as regards science or the arts of design, and of wliich the famous
library of Earl Spencer only possesses an imperfect copy, no less than others
which have remained unknown to the most celebrated bibliographers. To this
latter class belong the Abbaco (5) of 1547, which is for the most part a sort of
Block-Book (Xylograph), and the Algorithmus (6), printed at Strasburg in 1488.
This last appears to have been the first book on Arithmetic, published in a
city, now an integral portion of present France, whilst the Arithmetic (7),
printed by Gourmont, seems to have been the earliest elementary work of the
sort published in Paris, and the work of Ortega, so worthy of notice on many
accoimts, the first book on Arithmetic published in the French language (8). Li
these ancient works Ai'ithmetic and Algebra were hardly ever separated, and offer
in consequence to the literary historian a much wider field than might be supposed.
Indeed, in this Catalogue will be found under the heading '■'■Algebra'''' many rare
works which in several resj^ects belong also to Arithmetic. At the head of this
class must be placed the Challenges or Cartels (Cartelli) exchanged in the XVIth
Centm-y between Ferrari and Tartaglia on the subject of the most arduous ques-
tions in Algebra (9). This unique volume, discovered by Professor Gherardi of

INTKODUCTION. xiii

L'importance que les livres de science ont recemment acquise sous le rapport
bibliograpliique a ete constatee par M. Briniet, qui dans les parties deja publiees
de la nouvelle edition de son celebre Manuel, a fait ressortir avec justesse aux
articles Abhaco, Algorithmns, etc., la valeur toujours croissante que les collecteurs
attacbent a ces sortes de livi-es. On apprend avec plaisir par des renvois, que
les volumes suivants, qui sont attendus avec impatience par le public, contien-
dront d'autres articles du meme genre. Les bibliograpbes tels que M. Brunet
savent apprecier les services que leur rendent certains amateurs en formant des
collections speciales. M. Halliwell, par exemple, qui s'est voue depuis a des
etudes fort differentes, s'est d'abord fait connaitre aux bibliograpbes par une
collection extraordinaire d'ouvrages scientifiques, qui lui ont foumi le moyen
d'illustrer par d'interessantes publications plusieurs points de 1' historre des
sciences en Angleterre.

Dans le Catalogue que nous donnons ici on trouvera une foule de livres
relatifs a FAritbrnetique et a son bistoire, presque tous groupes sous le titre
di" Arithmetic, les uns qui sont d'une rarete presque proverbiale, tels c^qV Abhaco (3)
de Treviso (1478) et le Calandri(4), ouvrage aussi interessant sous le rapport
de la science que sous le rapport des arts du dessin, et dont la celebre
bibliotbeque Spencerienne ne possede qu'un exemplaire incomplet, les autres
qui etaient restes inconnus aux bibliograpbes les plus celebres. A cette derniere
classe appartient im Abbaco(6), de 1547, qui est, en grande partie, une sorte de
Block Book (Xylographie), et VAlgorithmus(Q), imprime en 1488 a Strasbourg.
Celui-ci parait etre le premier livre d'Arithmetique public dans une des villes
qui font partie de la France actuelle, comme 1' Arithmetique (7), imprimee par
Gourmont semble etre le premier livre elementaire du meme genre qui ait
pani a Paris, et comme I'ouvrage d' Ortega, si digne d'attention a plusieurs
egards, est le premier livre d'Aritbmetique public en langue Fi-angaise (8),
Dans ces anciens ouvrages, TAritbrnetique et I'Algebre n' etaient guere separees,
et ils offirent par consequent a I'bistorien des sciences im cbamp bien plus vaste
qu'on ne serait porte a le supposer. On trouvera eflfectivement dans ce
Catalogue, sous le titre collectif d'Algebre, beaucoup d'ouvrages rares qui, a
plusieurs egards, appartiennent aussi a I'Aritbmetique. En tete de cette classe
vient se placer la collection des defis (Cartelli), ecbanges au XVP""^ siecle
entre Ferrari et Tartaglia, au sujet des questions les plus ardues de I'Algebre (9).

XIV INTEODUCTION.

Bologna, who has described it in an interesting publication, acquires additional
interest from the autograph annotations of Ferrari and Tartaglia, with which it is
enriched. Under another general title, '■'■Astronomy,^'' which the exigences of a
sale catalogue have not permitted to be rendered as complete as might have
been, will be found another work, perhaps not less curioiis, the '' Theorique des
Cielz " (10), which is the first book of Astronomy printed in French. This
magnificent volume in Black Letter, containing a quantity of beautiful woodcut
illustrations, and commencing with an ancient French ballad, has remained
equally unknown to Lalande or Brunet, but marks an epoch in the history of
the sciences. Under another heading, '' Comets,''^ will be met the first printed
work (11), having for its subject those once so dreaded meteors.

The number of books on Astronomy contained in this Collection is so con-
siderable, that it was impossible to collect them under one heading without
completely reversing the order usually followed in English catalogues. Not-
withstanding the utility a more general classification might have offered to
persons forming special collections — notwithstanding the advice of very
enlightened bibliographers to apply to the principal portion of the books in
this Catalogue the extension of the usage now generally adopted for works on
Music, on America, and other like specialties — it was impossible to follow in
this respect one uniform rule. Except, therefore, in some particular headings,
Arithmetic for instance, which, on account of the importance such works had
in the Catalogue, called for a particular classification, books only comparatively
little known have been placed under generical titles, and the names of the most
celebrated authors have been left in their proper place in their alphabetical
arrangement.

Every one will comprehend for example that works so rare as those pub-
lished by Tycho Brahe in his own island, and emanating from his private press
before his exile, could not be grouped with other books, less known, under the
heading " Astronomy,''^ and that the precious volumes printed by Monteregio
himself as well as certain other works, perhaps less rare — ^but more celebrated —
such as the writings of Copernicus and Kepler, had to be kept in the general
alphabetical order in which they are customarily to be found. Besides it should
not be forgotten that this Catalogue is not a work on Bibliography. It is a
sale-catalogue of which the compiling, often interrupted by sickness; then
resumed and confided to other persons whom it was impossible to induce to
adopt a perfectly uniform style of digest; has been subjected to exigences
from which it could not be withdrawn. In a word the bibliographer has been
sometimes compelled to yield to the auctioneer. Forced then to lot works
which might with utility have been purchased separately, but which on account

INTEODUCTION, xv

Ce volume unique, tlecouvert par le Pi-ofesseur Gherardi de Bologne, qui I'a
decrit dans une interessante publication, acquiert un interet de plus par les
annotations autograplies de Ferrari et de Tartaglia dont il est enrichi. Sous
un autre titre general, Astronomie, que les exigences d'un Catalogue de vente
n'ont pas permis de rendre aussi complet qu'il aurait pu I'etre, on trouvera un
ouvrage non moins curieux peut-etre, la Theorique des Cielz (10), qui est
le premier livre d'astronomie public en Franyais. Ce magnifique volume
gothique, contenant une foule de belles impressions sur bois et commengant par
une vieille ballade Franjaise, est reste egalement inconnu a Lalande et a
M. Brunet, et fait epoque dans I'histoire des sciences. Sous le titre Cometes,
on rencontera le premier ouvrage imprime(ll), qui ait pour objet ces astres
autrefois si redoutes.

Le nombre des livres d' Astronomie contenus dans cette Collection est si con-
siderable, qu'il etait absolument impossible de les rassembler tons sous lui titre
unique, sans renverser completement I'ordre suivi d' ordinaire dans les Catalogues
Anglais. Malgre I'utilite qu'un classement plus general aurait pu offrir aux
personnes qui forment des collections speciales, malgre les conseils de biblio-
graphes tres eclaires qui nous engageaient a etendre a la grande generalite des
livres de ce Catalogue I'usage jusqu' ici adopte seulement pour les ouvrages
relatifs a la Musique, a I'Amerique, et a quelques autres specialites, il a ete
impossible de suivre a cet egard une regie uniforme. Sauf done quelques titres
particuliers comme Arithme'tiqite, par exemple, qui, par I'importance meme qu'ils
avaient dans ce Catalogue appelaient un classement particulier, on n'a place
que des livres comparativement peu connus sous certains titres generiques, et
on a laisse a leur place, selon I'ordi-e de I'Alpliabet, les noms des auteurs plus
celebres.

Tout le monde comprendra, par exemple, que les ouvrages si rares publies
par Tycho-Brahe dans son He et avec sa propre imprimerie, avant son exil,
n'aient pas pu etre groupes, avec d'autres livres moins connus, sous le titre
Astronomie, et que les volumes precieux qu' imprimait Monteregio lui-meme,
ainsi que certains ouvrages, moins rares peut-etre mais plus celebres, de
Copemic et de Kepler aient garde dans I'ordre alphabetique la place a laquelle
on est accoutume a les trouver.

D'ailleurs il ne faut pas oublier que ce Catalogue n'est pas un ouvrage de
bibliograpbie. C'est un Catalogue de vente dont la redaction, souvent inter-
rompue par des maladies, puis reprise, et confiee k diverses personnes aux-
quelles il etait impossible de faire suivre une marcbe parfaitement uniforme,
a ete soumise a des exigences presque inexorables. En un mot le biblio-
graphe a du parfois ceder a VAuctioneer. Forces done de grouper des

of their number could not be sold isolated without rendering the sale inter-
minable, the compilers of this Catalogue have been compelled to modify their
labour according to circumstances. References at the end of this Introduction
will serve to diminish, if not entirely to remove, the inconveniences of this
want of uniformity.

Among the generic headings, there is one ^'■Galileo'" — which deserves
particular mention. The labours of this philosopher, the veritable creator of
experimental philosophy, have had such an influence on the march of science,
have served to found in Italy a school so fruitful and so brilliant, have raised
such vivid jealousies — such bitter enmities — have been interrupted by such
misfortunes, that in order to render better known what Science owes to Galileo
— to render more evident even solely by the titles of the books the conflict of
enthusiastic applause and of enraged persecution in the midst of which he
advanced in his glorious career, it has been thought advisable to insert at
the end of his own writings, and to attach them under his name, other works,
now little known and not often to be found, by his partisans or adversaries,
which may serve to throw a new light upon the history and labours of this
martyr of Science. Whilst in the original editions of certain of his works are
to be found those discoveries which his genius spread throughoiit, the reference
to them has not always been noticed (12), although also mentioned in other works
published in his day, such as for example the " Ragguagli di Parnaso" (13), by
Boccalini, which would not seem to be of a nature to be cited in scientific discus-
sions, but in which is to be seen the proof of the priority of his claim to certain dis-
coveries disputed to be his. On the other hand it will be seen that he was fore-
stalled in discoveries that are very generally attributed to him. For example, the
equal duration of the fall of heavy bodies of different natures, falling in the same
time from the same height, is affirmed in a book on the art of writing in
cyphers, which Bellaso (whose name has almost simk into oblivion) published in the
very year in which Galileo was bom (14). Other works having nothing scientific
but the name, and even small dramatic pieces, offer proof of the fact, often men-
tioned and always denied, that astronomers prior to Galileo had sought by the
aid of certain instruments to bring distant objects (15) nearer. Finally, only to
speak of the telescope such as Galileo constructed on the report that an instrument
of the sort had been made in Holland, it is at variance with fact to affirm, as is
generally done, that Galileo was the first to turn this instrument towards the
heavens. Mr. J. Winter Jones, who, since Mr. Panizzi has justly been called
to the general superintendance of the British Museum, directs Avith such zea^

raison surtout de lour grand noiubre, on ne pouvait pas vendre isolement sans
rendre la vente interminable, les redacteurs de ce Catalogue out du modifier
leur travail suivant les circonstances. Des renvois, places a la suite de cette
Introdudion, serviront a diminuer, sinon a faire disparaitre entierement, les
inconvenients de ce manque d'uniformite.

Parmi ces titres generiques, on en remarquera un, Galilee, qui merite une
mention particuliere. Les travaux de ce pliilosoplie, veritable createur de la
pliilosopliie experimcutale, ont eu une telle influence sur la marche des sciences,
lis sont servi a fonder en Italic une ecole si feconde et si brillante, ils ont
suscite de si vives jalousies, de si ameres inimities, ils ont ete interrompus par
de telles infortunes que, pour aider a faire mieux comprendre ce que les sciences
doivent ii Galilee, pour rendre plus evident, meme par des titres seuls de livres,
ce conflit d'applaudissements enthousiastes et de persecutions acharnees au
milieu desquels il s'est avance dans sa glorieuse carriere, nous avons cru
devoir rassembler a la suite de ses ecrits originaux, et en les rattachant a
son nom, d'autres ouvrages maintenant pen connus et souvent introuvables,
de ses partisans ou de ses adversaires, qui pouvaient jeter une nouvelle
lumiere sur I'histoire et les travaux de ce Martyr de la science. Tandisque
dans les editions originales de certains ouvrages de lui, on trouvera de ces
dccouvcrtes que son genie repandait partout et qu'on n'a pas toujours
remarquees (12), dans d'autres livres publics de son temps, tels que les
Ragguagli di JParnaso(lS) de Boccalini, qui ne sembleraient pas de natiu-e
a ^tre cites dans des discussions scientifiques, on aura la preuve de la
priorite de certaines inventions qu'on lui a disputees. Aillem's, par centre, on
verra qu'il avait ete devance dans des decouvertes qu'on lui attribue le j)lus
generalenient. Par exemple, I'isoclironisme de la cMte des corps graves de
differentes natures tombant dans le meme temps de la meme hauteur, est
affirme dans un livre sur I'art d'ecrire en chiffres que Bellaso (dont le nom
est presque tombe dans I'oubli) publiait I'annee meme de la naissance de
Oalilee (14). D'autres ouvrages, qui n'ont de scientifique que le nom, de
petites pieces dramatiques meme, offrent la preuve de ce fait, plusieurs fois
affirme et toujours dementi, qu'avant Galilee les astronomes cliercliaieut, a I'aide
'de certains instruments, a rapprocher les objets eloignes(lo). Au reste, pour
ne parler meme que du telescope tel que Galilee I'a construit sur la nouvelle
qu'un instrument de ce genre avait ete fait en HoUande, il n'est pas exact de
dire, bien qu'on le dise generalement, que Galilee ait ete le premier u tourner cet

and success the department of printed books in this immense establishment, has
made known a small tract (16), printed by Jean Gazeau at Lyons in 1608,
wherein will be found the proof that, from the very first days of its construction,
the telescope was directed towards the heavens even in Holland itself, although
without observing any thing that was new. It is one of those small gazettes
published so frequently at tlus period, bearing the date of 12 November, 1608,
with the following title, " Les Amhassades et Presents du Soy de Siam
envoyez a V Excellence du Prince Maurice,^'' wherein at the end of political news
there are mentioned new " spy-glasses" constructed by " a poor man, very
religious and fearing God,'^ of Mildebourg {sic for Middelbiu-g), " tvho has
had 300 dollars and will have more on condition of not teaching the said
manufacture to any person in the world.'" At the conclusion of the description
of the magnifying produced by this instrument the author adds " Even the
stars which are not ordinarily visible to our sight or our eyes by their smallness
and the iveakness of our vision may be seen by means of this instrument." It
was not by turning by chance the new spy-glass towards the heavens, but in
seizing and divining even with an incomparable promptitude of mind the
marvels which the new instrument hardly rendered perceptible ! it was by
coming at the first onset to the most brilliant results, by applying not only
his eye but his genius to the telescope that Galileo was able in a f^w days
to make the astonishing discoveries disclosed in his Nuncius Syderens. They
reversed so completely the idea until then formed of the constitution of the
■universe, that for a long time the partisans of the ancient doctrines were
obstinate in treating them as diabolical illusions. From that day forward gave
way all that scaffolding of suspended spheres and solid heavens, which Coper-
nicus had not had the audacity to attack, but which however an Italian philoso-
pher, Patrizzi, whose reputation is far inferior to his merit, had dared to deny
openly even anterior to the discoveries of Galileo. One can reatUly understand
why the Peripaticians, until then absolute masters in the schools and whom
the assertions of Copernicus had not much moved, closed their ranks and rose
up in arms on the day, when by the discoveries of Galileo all the ancient errors
were sapped to the foundation, and when the celestial machine seemed all at
once to be toppling on their heads.

The sad consequences of the strife which then commenced between dominant
error and truth — which could not fail to triumph in the end — are but too well
known ; and the different editions, announced in this Catalogue, of the Sacro
Arsenale {\1), which is merely the Code of the Inqiiisition, will serve to furnish

de zele et de succes, le departement des livres imprimes de ce grand etablissemeut,

1608, ou Ton trouve la preuve que des las premiers jom-s de sa constrviction le
telescope avait ete dirige vers le ciel en Hollande meme, sans donner lieu a
aucune decouverte. C'est une de ces petites Gazettes publiees si frequemment
a cette epoque ; elle porte la date du 12 Novembre, 1608, et a pour titre
*' Les Amhassades et jyre'sents du Roy de Siam envoyez a V excellence du Prince

description du grossissement produit parcet instrument I'auteur ajoute " Mestnes
les estoilles qui ordinairement ne paroissent a nostre veue et a nos yeux par leur
petitesse et foiblesse de nostre veue se peuvent voir par lemoyen de cest instniment.''^
Ce n'etait pas en tournant presque par basard la nouvelle lunette vers le ciel,
mais en saisissant, en devinant meme, avec une prompitude d'esprit incomparable
les merveilles que le nouvcl instrument faisait a peine apercevoir, c'est en
parvenant d'emblee aux resultats les plus brillants, c'est en appliquant non
seulement son ceil mais son genie au telescope, que Galilee a pu en qtielques
jours faire les decouvertes etonnantes que renferme son Nuncius Sydereus.
EUes renversaient si completement I'idee qu'on s'etait formee jusqu' alors de la
constitution de I'univers, que pendant longtemps les partisans des anciennes
doctrines se sont obstines a les traiter d'illusions diaboliques. C'est a partir de
ce jour la seulement que s'ecroulait tout cet echafifandage de spheres superposees
et de cieux solides, que Copernic n'avait pas eu I'audace d'attaquer, et que
pom'tant un philosoplie Italien, Patrizj, dont la reputation est de beaucoup
inferieure au merite, avait ose uier ouvertement avant meme les decouvertes de
Galilee. On comprend pourquoi les peripateticiens, maitres absolus jusqu' alors
dans les ecoles, et que les assertions de Copernic n'avaient pas beaucoup emus,
serrerent les rangs et chargerent leurs armes le jour ou, par les decouvertes de
Galilee, toutes les vieilles erreurs furent sapees dans leur fondement, et ou la

proofs to those who with ourselves have always thought that Galileo was tor-
tured. The books which we have grouped round this great name moreover
show, that this everlasting injustice weighed not only on those who provoked it,
but also on others who wore the same robe, however they may have sought to
separate themselves from the first persecutors. In effect whilst, especially in
Tuscany, the ancient school moved heaven and earth, weighing down Galileo and
forcing him to go upon his knees to the Inquisition, there existed not only
amongst the clergy in general, but even in the order of the Jesuits itself a
numerous party who, without openly revolting against the sentence of the
Inquisition, spoke of the system of Copernicus — as of an hypothesis it is true
— but still did not cease to sj^eak of it, and seized every occasion to celebrate
the fame of Galileo. This fact does not seem to have been sufficiently placed
in its proper light. "Without recalling the names of Father Castelli, Father
Cavalieri, the Archbishop of Siena Piccolomini, Monsignor Ciampolli, and
other Ecclesiastics who were defenders of Galileo, the works mentioned in this
Catalogue will furnish immerous proofs. The injustice of which Galileo was
the victim has borne its fruits, and posterity has long obstinately ignored
the importance of the labours of Lana (18), of Eschinardi (19), and of other
illustrious men of the order of Jesus, solely because they presented themselves
before the world clothed in the same habit as Father Grassi (20), Father
Scheiner (21), or in short as the most enraged adversaries of Galileo. One of
these Jesuits above all, the Father Grimaldi, deserves to be reckoned amongst
the glories of Italian science ; for not only in his treatise de Immine (22) has he
created an entire branch of optics — that which relates to the interference and
diffraction of light — but, a thing less known but not less important, he has, many
years before the memorable discoveries of Eoemer and Bradley, theoretically
proved that the propagation of light is progressive and not instantaneous.

It was principally with the design of tracing and reviewing the march of science
in Italy from its very foundation that this Collection now offered for sale was
formed ; and in it will be found a mass of works, such as those of Benedetti (23),

Sans parler du pere Castelli, du pere Cavalieri, de I'Arclieveque de Sienne
Piccolomini, de Monsignor Ciampoli, et d'autres ecclesiastiques qui furent les
defenseurs de Galilee, les ouvrages contenus dans ce Catalogue en fom-nissent
des preuyes nombreuses. L'injustice dont Galilee avait ete la victime a porte
ses fruits, et la posterite s'est longuement obstinee a meconnaitre I'importance

compagnie de Jesus, uuiquement parceque ces savants s'etaient presentes devant

un mot que les adversaires les plus acharnes de Galilee. L'un surtout de ces
Jesuites, le pere Grimaldi, merite d'etre compte parmi les gloires de la science
Itahenne ; car, non seulement, dans son traite De Lumine (22) il a cree una

Cataldi (24), Conti (25), Dati (26), Danti (27), EscMnardi (28), Moro (29),
and ' others, which insure to Italy discoveries which even certain
Italians themselves are obstinate in ascribing to strangers. It has been
said at the commencement that the most unexpected discoveries are to
be found sometimes in books, which from their nature seem the least
likely to contain them. The enumeration would be much too long, even
summarily to indicate the works described in this Catalogue as containing
either the germs, or even the complete description of inventions, which have
been looked upon as quite modern. Who, for instance, would imagine that
suspension-bridges, exactly as they are constructed at present, will be found
described and figured, together with life belts and many other not
less curious inventions, in the Macliince Novce of Fausto Veranzio, a work
published at Venice towards the end of the X Vlth Century (30) ? The author
was a man of note. He was Hungarian Secretary to the Emperor, and his
Polyglot Dictionary (31) is esteemed by linguists; whilst i\\Q '-'■ Machince
J^ovee," although far more interesting, is almost unknown to scientific men.
The book is in truth very rare, and this may account for its having escaped all
researches ; but what can be alleged in excuse for not noticing in a book
which all the world knows, the Piacevoli Notti of Straparola, a collection
of Novels often reprinted in the XVIth Century, and not only published
in Italian, but even translated into French, that therein is to be seen a descrip-
tion, hitherto entirely unnoticed, of a species of revolver (32), that is to say, of a
gun capable of discharging separately, or at one time, several projectiles without
the necessity of being reloaded. Again, who would believe that in a translation
of Persius made by Stelluti, a member of the celebrated Academy of Lincei, is
to be foimd the fii'st example of microscopical observations on animals, illustrated
with plates (33) ? Who would imagine that even before the so well-known
labours of Castelli (34) the influence of colour on the absorption and emission
of radiating heat was a fact so generally Itnown that Pope Clement VII,
adopted as his motto Candor Illcesus, from that property in white bodies

discovered by his treasurer, Doraenico Bnonaccorsi, a physician, whose very
name is probably now forgotten at Florence by his own descendants ? It is in
a Collection of Devices formed by Ruscclli (35) that so important a fact is
stated, and it is in the same work, printed in the XVIth Century, and now
opened merely as an object of pure curiosity, that not only is this fact to be
found, but also that of the combustion of the diamond. These discoveries on
the radiation of heat, and even other radiations, which are to be found recorded
in Ruscelli, and at a later period confirmed and enlarged by Cavalieri (36),
Castelli, and the Academicians of the Cimento (37), are still incessantly attri-
buted to men who have no right to their first discovery.

It is known that for a long series of centuries philosophers, as well as the
vulgar, refused absolutely to admit that celestial bodies could sustain themselves
isolated in space, and that Copernicus himself, in spite of the courage with
which he sought to overturn the astronomical system generally adoj3ted in his
time, had not dared to rid science of those solid spheres in which it was
believed that the stars were incrusted. It might have been asked how these
spheres themselves were sustained in space, but this difficulty does not appear
to have presented itself to the minds of ancient astronomers. However, before
the immortal discoveries of Newton, tlie idea of boches sustaining themselves
in space by their own nature, and even acting at a distance the one upon the
other, is found recorded in different writers. A remarkable example of this
may be seen in the commentary written by Luigi Groto on a work of Bonardo
of very little interest, "Z)6 la Dimension cles Spheres Celestes'''' (38). This Grota
surnamed lo Cieco d'Adi'ia, because he was blind almost from his birth, although
hardly known in the present day, wrote tragedies in which, in advance of his age,
he has introduced all the far-fetched exaggeration of the Secento. But to make
up for this folly, he had foreseen that celestial bodies remain suspended, and in
equilibrium, in space by a species of magnetic attraction produced by distant
bodies, similar to the mode as, at that period in Euroj^e it was generally
stated, Mahomet's coffin was suspended between heaven and earth. To this
example so unexpected may be added another not less singular, that of
Cammillo Agrippa, who, in a work, the designs of which are attributed to
Michael Angelo, and the object of which is the art of making weapons, has
declared at the end, in a dialogxie supposed to be held between himself and
the celebrated translator of the ^neid, Annibale Caro, that not only do the
planets tend or gravitate the one to the other, but in addition that they gravi-
tate differently towards the earth, and that to this diflference of action is owing

INTRODUCTION. xxv

mSme est probablement oublie aujourd'liui a Florence par ses descendants 1
' Cost dans iin recueil de devises, forme par Ruscelli (35), que ce fait si impor-
tant est constate et c'est dans ce meme ouvrage, imprime au XVP'"'' siecle, et
qu'on ouvre senlement aujourd'liui comme un objet de pure curiosite, que se
trouve non seulement un tel fait, mais aussi la combustion du diamant. Cos
decouvertcs sur la clialeur rayonnante, et meme sur d'autres radiations, qu'on
voit consignees dans Ruscelli, et que plus tard Cavalieri (36), Castelli, et les
academiciens du Cimento (37) ont confirmees et etendues, sont sans cesse
attribuees a des hommes qui n'y ont aucun droit.

Ou sait que, pendant une longue suite de siecles les philosoplies aussi bien
que le vulgaire se refuserent absolument a admettre que les corps celestes
pussent se soutenir isoles dans I'espace et que Copernic lui meme, malgre la
hardiesse avec laquelle il s'appliquait a renverser le systeme astronomique
generalement adopte de son temps, n'avait pas ose se debarrasser de ces spheres
solides dans lesquelles on croyait que les astres etaient incrustes. On aurait pu
se demander comment ces spheres elles memes se soutenaient dans I'espace, mais
cette difficulte ne semble pas s'etre presentee a I'esprit des anciens astronomes.
Pourtant, avant les immortelles decouvertes de Newton, I'idee de corps se
soutenant dans I'espace par leur propre nature et meme agissant a distance les
uns sur les autres, se trouve consignee dans difi"erents ecrivains. On en voit
un exemple remarquable ^ dans le Commentaire ecrit par L. Groto sur un
ouvi-age fort pen interessant de Bonardo; De la Dimension des Spheres
Ce'lestes (38). Ce Groto, appele le Cieco d'Adria parcequ'il etait devenu
aveugle presque en naissant, et qui est a peine connu aujourd'bui, a ecrit des
tragedies dans lesquelles il a d'avance introduit toute la recherche et I'exagera-
tion du Secento. Mais en revanche il avait pressenti que les corps celestes
restent suspendus, et en equilibre, dans I'espace par une espece d'attraction
magnetique produite par des corps eloignes, comme on disait generalement a
cette epoque en Europe qu'etait suspendu le tombeau de Mahomet. A cet
exemple si inattendu on pent en aj outer un autre non moins singulier, celui de
Cammillo Agrippa, qui, dans un ouvrage rempli de figiires dont les dessins ont
ete attribues a Michel Ange, et destine a enseigner la maniere de faire des armes^
a declare a la fin, dans un dialogue qu'il suppose etre tenu entre lui-meme et le
celebre traducteur de I'Eneide, Annibal Caro, que non seulement les planetes
pesent ou gravitent les unes sur les autres, mais que de plus, elles pesent
diflferemment sur la terre et qi\e c'est a cette difference d'action qu'est due la
precession des equinoxes ! Qui aurait pu s'attendre a rencontrer une telle

the Precession of the Equinoxes 1 Who would expect to meet such a notion
in the work of a fencing-master, printed for the first time eleven years before
the birth of Galileo (39).

Without pushing still further this enumeration, which might become
interminable, what has been already said will suffice to convince men, who
give themselves up to the study of the sciences, of the utility — one is almost
tempted to say of the necessity — of resorting more frequently to ancient works
than is generally done. A host of other facts will moreover show that it is
indispensable to pay great attention, whilst studying ancient authors, to the
different editions; in other words not to neglect bibliography if there be a
desire to arrive at an exact knowledge of books and of their true contents. In
spite of the racy anecdotes which are told of certain enthusiastic collectors,
bibliography, considered always as an auxiliary study, will become more and
more necessary as daily the increasing number of books renders it no longer
possible to proceed without a guide or a finger-post to direct us through
the accumulating mass of materials of a nature and value so varied. This
Catalogue might present numerous examples of the utility of bibliography
considered in this point of view. One only shall be cited ; it is sufficiently
striking.

There are few names in modern literary history more illustrious than that of
Pascal. A great wi'iter and an invincible debater, liis Pensees as well as his
Provinciales would have sufficed to have rendered his name imperishable, even
if his discoveries in Mathematics and Physics had not handed it down to
posterity. It seems that roimd such a name, which has been the occasion and
the object of such violent discussions and of such deep studies, the light ought
long since to have been directed to every point, and it will not readily be
imagined that a simple bibliographical remark contained in this Catalogue must
hereafter have much influence on the appreciation of labours so celebrated.
When Pascal, in 1647, made his first barometrical observations on the Puy de
Dome, as is well known, he abstained entirely from mentioning the name of
Torricelli, who, as was patent to the whole world, had discovered the barometer
in 1643. This forgetfulness, which the author of the Provinciales only repaired
later in a very shuffling manner, gave rise to just complaints, and the Italians
recalled to mind how, in regard to the Cycloid, scientific Frenchmen had
appeared little disposed to render honour to the genius of Torricelli. The
injustice of Pascal naturally provoked reprisals, jmd it was declared in Italy not
only that Pascal without ceremony had appropriated the barometer, but also
the application of the instrument for measuring heights, which was known in the
coujitry where the barometer was invented, four years before Pascal had made
his primary observations. To support this assertion his adversaries quoted the

ans avaut la naissance de Galilee? (39).

Saus pousser plus loin cette enumeration qui pourrait devenir interminable,
ce qu'on vient de dire suffira pour faire comprendre aux hommes qui se
livrent a I'etude des sciences, I'utilite, nous serions presque tente de dire la
necessite, d'avoir plus frequemment recours aux anciens ouvrages qu'on ne le
fait generalement. Une foule d'autres faits montreront de plus qu'il est
indispensable, lorsqu'on etudie les anciens auteurs, de faire grande attention
aux diflferentes editions, en d'autres termes de ne pas negliger la bibliographic
quand on veut parvenir a la connaissance exacte des livres et de ce qu'ils renfer-
ment. Malgre les spirituelles anecdotes qu'on a pu raconter de certains collecteurs
enthousiastes, la bibliographic, consideree toujours comme etude auxiliaire,
deviendra de plus en plus necessaire a mesure que, le nombre des livres
augmentant, il ne sera plus possible de se passer d'un guide, d'une direction
poux se reconnaitre au milieu de tant de materiaux de nature et de valeur si
differentes. Ce Catalogue pourrait offrir de nombreux exemples de I'utilite de la
bibliographic consideree sous ce point de vue. N'en citons qu'un seul ; il est
assez frappant.

II y a peu de noms, dans I'histoire litteraire moderne, plus illustres que celui de
Pascal. Grand ecrivain et lutteur invincible, ses Pensees comme ses Provinciales
auraient suffi a rendre son nom imperissable, lors meme que ses decouvertes
dans les mathematiques et dans la physique n'eussent pas du le faire passer a la
posterite. II semblait qu'autom* d'un tel nom, qui a ete I'occasion et I'objet de
discussions si animees et d' etudes si approfondies, la lumiere eut du se faire
depuis longtemps et sur tons les points, et Ton ne s'imaginerait pas facilement
qu'une simple remarque bibliographique contenue dans ce Catalogue put avoir
beaucoup d'influence sur 1' appreciation de travaux si celebres. On sait que
lorsqu'en 1647 Pascal fit ses premieres observations barometriques sur le Puy
de Dome, il s'abstint completement de prononcer le nom de Torricelli qui, au su
de tout le monde, avait decouvert le barometre en 1643. Cet oubH, que
I'auteur des Provinciales ne repara que plus tard et d'une fa9on fort embarrassee,
donna lieu a de justes reclamations, et les Italiens se rappelerent que deja a
propos de la Cycloide les savants Frangais avaient semble peu disposes a rendre
honneur au genie de Torricelli. L'injustice de Pascal provoqua naturellement
des represailles et Ton declara en Italic que, non seulement Pascal s'etait
d'abord empare sans fagon du barometre, mais que meme I'application de cet
instrument a la mesure des hauteurs etait connue dans le pays ou le barometre
avait ete invente, quatre ans avant que Pascal ne fit ses premieres observations.
A I'appui de cette assertion, on cita le livre d'un Francais, Beauregard, pro-

a Rome en 1553.

work of a Frencliman, Beauregard, successively Professor at Pisa and at
Padua, who, in his Circulus Pisanus, published at Udine, in 1G43, was said
to have spoken of the measurement of heights by the barometer as a thing
well known. Besides the edition even the page of the work was cited where
the passage, reproduced verbatim, was to be found printed, and this asser-
tion put into circulation nearly a century ago by a man of great merit,
Targioni, has been again put forth in our time, in a publication looked upon
as an authority, as a thing decided. It is necessary, however, to reverse this
erroneous judgment. In this Catalogue is to be found a description of the
work of Beauregard, of which there are two editions (40), the one of the year
1G43, containing not one word of the passage cited, and the other of the year
1661, wherein is really to be foimd, interpolated, the quotation cited with such
assurance, without first ascertaining if what was thus quoted from the second
edition could be found in the first. Such an error admitted for such a length
of time, and so often repeated in a case so important with respect to so cele-
brated a man, will prove that it is not so absolutely useless to inspect different
editions, to compare them, and to consult even those which, without being
either the most complete or the best, may still serve to substantiate some
important fact.

Amidst the different groups formed in this Catalogue will be seen, chiefly, as
far as regards certain celebrated men, that care has been taken to collect all the
works, sometimes of a very different nature, which might tend to make known
not only their discoveries, but also all the productions of their minds. The more
we advance in the study of man, the more we shall in truth perceive that the
entire life of a scholar ought to be studied, if we wish to be acquainted with
him thoroughly, and that for example the theological and polemical works of
De Dominis (41), or Steuo (42), ought not to be separated from their writings
on light and on geology, which have rendered their names famous. This re-con-
struction of the mind of a man by aid of all his writings, and by the bringing
together of the greatest number possible of polemical and biograj)hical labours
of which he may have been the subject, has always been a principal object in
the formation of this Collection. The article " Galileo " shows as nearly as
possible what might have been done for other literary and scientific characters
if the routine of a Sale- Catalogue had permitted in this manner the recon-
struction of the entire lives of celebrated men. The real inconvenience thus
occasioned will be diminished, it is to be hoped, by the table of references, placed
at the end of this Introduction, which the reader is requested to consult.

fesscur successivement a, Pise et a Padoue qui, dans un oiivrage intitule
Circulus Pisanus et publie a Udine en 1643, avait parle, disait-on, de la mesure
des hauteurs par le barometre comme d'une chose connue. Outre I'edition, on
citait la page meme du livre ou le passage qu'on dounait en toutes lettres se
serait trouve imprime, et cette assertion, mise en circulation il y a pres
d'un siecle par un homme d'un grande merite, Targioni, avait ete reproduite
de nos jours dans une publication pour ainsi dire officielle, et avait pris I'autorite
de chose jugee. H faut pourtant revenir sur ce jugement errone. Dans ce
Catalogue on verra la description de I'ouvrage de Beauregard qui a eu deux
editions (40): I'une de I'annee 1643 qui ne contient pas un seul mot du passage
cite, I'autre de I'annee 1661, dans laquelle se trouve intercale le passage qu'on
citait avec assurance sans jamais se donner la peine de verifier si ce qu'on prenait
dans la seconde edition se trouvait dans la premiere. Une telle erreur, si
longtemps admise et si souvent repetee, dans un cas si important, a propos d'un
homme si celebre, fera comprendre qu'il n'est pas absolument inutile de
regarder aux differentes editions, de les comparer et de consulter celles qui,
sans etre parfois ni les plus completes ni les meilleures, peuvent servir a con-
stater quelque fait important.

Parmi les differens groupes qui ont ete formes dans ce Catalogue, on verra
qu'a propos surtout de certains hommes celebres, on s'est applique a rassembler
tons les ouvrages, de natures parfois tres-diverses, qui etaient propres a faire
connaitre non seulemcnt leurs decouvertes mais aussi tons les produits de leur
esprit. Plus on avancera dans I'etude de I'homme et plus on s'apercevra, en
eflfet, que la vie entiere d'un savant doit etre etudiee si Ton veut le bien
connaitre et que, par exemple, les ouvrages de theologie et de polemique
ecrits par De Dominis (41), et par Stenon (42), ne saixraient etre separes des
ecrits sur la lumiere et sur la geologic qui ont rendu leurs noms celebres.
Cette reconstruction de I'homme par tons ses ecrits, et par la reunion du plus
grand nombre possible de travaux polemiques ou biographiques dont il a pu
etre I'objet, nous avait constamment preoccupe en formant cette Collection.
L'article Oalilee montre a peu pres dans ce Catalogue ce que nous avions voulu
faire ; mais, les routines d'un Catalogue de vente, n'ont pas permis qu'on
procedat toujom's ainsi a la reconstruction de la vie entiere des hommes illustres.
Cet inconvenient est reel; il se trouvera, nous I'esperons, diminuc par la table
des renvois placce a la suite de cette Introduction et que nous prions le lecteur
de consulter.

belonged to celebrated men, and exhibit their names or annotations written in
their own handwriting. As this circumstance often adds much additional interest
to the book, the fact will be found noticed in most cases. To render easy the
verification of those so indicated, it has been thought advisable to reproduce,
engraved in facshuile, some of the most interesting of these autographs, such,
for example, as those of Galileo (43), Kepler (44), Torricelli (45), Borelli (46),
and of others, which are to be found in several of the volumes.

It has been already hinted that, this Catalogue has been prepared by
different persons imder the direction of a competent bibliographer, to whom,
with a liberality deserving all praise, Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson had
confided the general description of this Collection. It was impossible, with
such a mass of books, for this labour — which the health of the proprietor did
not permit him to superintend continuoxisly, and which had no philosophical
object in view, being merely intended to serve for the purposes of a sale by
auction — to have either in the formation of the groups, or in the digestion of
the notes, or even in the transcribing of the titles, that uniformity which
might have been desirable. Faults of this sort, which would be of importance
in a work essentially bibliographical, will readily be pardoned in a labour like
the present. The notes for the most part are the work of the compiler of the
Catalogue, to whom had simply been communicated certain detached remarks
made relative to the books, and the owner's thanks are due for the zeal and
skill evinced by him in the completion of so laborious an xmdertaking. Some
scientific notes, which perhaps the reader will recognize, are from the pen of
the owner himself, who, however, has had but small share in pointing out
either the rarity or price of the different books described, even in regard to
certain volumes which have hitherto remained totally unknown to the most
celebrated bibliographers. There is not the slightest intention, however, in
these remarks (as will be found stated in note to lot 470) to criticize the
extremely useful labours of eminent men, and all observations of the sort must
be regarded as they were simjjly meant, as a duty made in compliance with the
usual directions of the auctioneers, that every circumstance, however trivial,
considered likely to enhance the value of any property entrusted to their charge
for disposal should, without fear or favour, be invariably mentioned. In a
sale-catalogue such observations are considered useful, and bowing to a rule,
inexorably laid down and beyond private control, every latitude has necessarily
been permitted, without the slightest restriction, to the cataloguers.

This portion of the Library has been found of such extent that it has been
deemed necessary to divide the sale into two equal parts. The Catalogue of
the second part is in the press and will shortly be published.

Torricelli (45), de Borelli (46), etc. etc. qui se trouvent dans plusieurs de ces
volumes.

On Fa dcja dit : ce Catalogue a ete redige par differentes personnes sous
la direction de I'habile bibliograplie que Messieurs Sotbeby et Wilkinson,
avec une liberalite de vues a laquelle nous devons rendre bommage, ont
charge de la description generale de cette Collection. H etait done impossible
qu'en presence d'une telle masse de livres, ce travail, que la sante du possesseur
ne lui permettait pas de surveiller avec suite, et qui n'avait pas un but
philosophique mais devait servir uniquement a une vente, eut, soit dans la
formation des groupes, soit dans la redaction des notes, soit meme dans la
transcription des titres toute I'miiformite qu'on aurait pu desirer. Des defauts
de ce genre, qui auraient de la gravite dans un ouvrage essentiellement
bibliographique, seront facilement excuses dans un travail tel que celui-ci.
Les notes, sont en grande partie I'oeuvi'e du redacteur du Catalogue. Nous
lui avons simplement communique quelques remarques detachees que nous
avions faites sur ces livres, et nous devons le remercier de tout le zele et de
toute I'habilete dont il a fait preuve en s'aquittant d'une tache si laborieuse.
Certaines notes scientifiques, que peut-etre le lecteur reconnaitra, ont ete
redigees par nous meme, mais nous avons pris beaucoup moins de part aux
notes destinees a faire connaitre la rarete et le prix des ouvrages qu'on avait
a decrire, ainsi qu'a celles dans lesquelles, a propos de certains livres, on a fait
remarquer qu'ils etaient restes inconnus aux bibliographes les plus celebres.
H n'y a dans ces remarques, nous I'avons declare a propos des livres d'Arith-
metique (47), aucune intention critique. Elles pouvaient avoir leur utilite dans
un Catalogue de vente, et Ton a du naturellement laisser a cet egard toute
latitude aux personnes chargees de le rediger.

Cette collection s'est trouvee si considerable qu'on a ete oblige de la partager
alphabetiqement en deux parties. Le second volume de ce Catalogue est
sous presse et paraitra tres prochainement.

Abati's Satirical Poems are mixed with Prose. For his wit he was sm-named
" I'Abbate delle Vivezze e delle Argutezze." The Emperor Ferdinand III
composed a very indifierent acrostic in Italian in his praise, instead of
pro^ading for his necessities, which, as appears from some<of his poems,
were often most pressing.

Monteregio (Jobannis de) Kalendarium VenetUs, 1482

Diagrams of Eclipses (in which the portion not obscured is printed in red),
and figures of instruments.

Montegnana (Bartbolomei de) Tractatus de TJrinarum Judiciis

FaducSy 1487
Eormularium Epistolarum

A very rare Secretary's Assistant (giving the mode of addressing Letters on the
outside, and how to commence and end them), printed at Rome in the
XVth Century (cii'ca 1495), but unfortunately unperfect.

From ilie Library of Cardinal Alhani 4^o. in one vol.

On the blank leaves are various MS. recipes, written in the early pai't of the
XVth Centmy.

Medicorum. Accedunt ejusdem Tractatus de Yeuenis et Petri de
Carariis de Monte Silice Opusculum de Terminatione Venenorum
very large copy, hut slightly wormed, half russia folio. Venetiis, 1476

This truly important work is full of scientific and historical information. As an
instance, we refer to Differentia LXVII, where the author mentions matters
respecting Oriental Asia on the authority of verbal communications received
from various travellers, quoting amongst others Marco Polo. He also speaks
of the bold attempt made about the end of the Xlllth Century by two
Genoese navigators (Doria and Vivaldi) to reach India by crossing the
Atlantic, being two centuries before Columbus.

EAEE 4:to. Christiana, 1839

This celebrated Norwegian Mathematician died at the early age of twenty-six ;
but his admirable discoveries in the elliptical functions, and the theory of
numbers, will be mentioned with the highest honour as long as the exact
sciences are cultivated.

11 Abela (Gr. P.) Descrittione di Malta, con le sue Antichita ed altre Notitie,

map and plates, velhim folio. Malta, 1647

Lenglet Du Fresnoy, Haym, Giandoiiati, and Coleti, all agree in pronouncing
the edition " Libro curioso e rarissimo." Seiner (whose Latin translation
of the work forms a portion of Burman's Thesaurus) informs us that even
in his time the original had become extremely rare, a fact fully confirmed

by a copy at the sale of the Bibliotheca Westreniana. producing 85 florins,
£7. 15s. lOd. It was the first book printed at Malta, and the author of the
Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society is in error in asserting that
the " Compendio della Dottriua Chi-istiana," pubhshed ia 181G, is the only
book ever printed in that island.

taiues, 3 vol. in 1, curious loooclcuts
old calf, tvUh arms stamped in gold on sides 12mo. Par. J. Richer, 1586

A most interesting work to the English Collector, as Swift and Sterne have laid
it under great contribution. The former's Art of Punning is in great part
extracted from this whimsical production of Tabourot, which contains an
extraordinary number of puns and clenches. The volume is filled with
witty remarks on Rebus, Puns, Amphibologies, Antistrophes, Aiagrams,
Acrostics, llhyme (including several in Macaronic, unknown to the learned
M. Delepierre), Epitaphs, &c. &c. It was a favourite work with Charles
Nodier, who regarded it as the best collection of " Faceties et QuoHbets "
current in ancient times.

It has been generally admitted that it was only in the second edition (published

equation ax-\-b=zcy in entire numbers is to be found. But at the end of
the present and extremely scarce first edition we find the following general
problem, which Bachet states is resolved in his never published EUmens
Arithmetiqties, and which shows that the above-mentioned equation had
been already resolved generally by him in 1612, when the present edition
appeared.

" Deux nombres premiers entre eux estant donnez (says Bachet, p. 172), trouver

The introduction contains a short but good history of algebra as known

up to that time, in which mention is made of Leonardo Pisano (by mistake

called Leonardus Pisauriensis), and also of the discoveries of Ferro and

Tartalea, these being fairly described. A copy sold for 45 francs in 1857.

FOEMERLT IN THE POSSESSION OF PROFESSOR S. GhERARDI

4:to. Milano e Venetia, 1547
A most extraordinary and unique volume, containing the mathematical discus-
sions between Tartaglia, Cardan, and Ferrari, hitherto known only to
algebrists, from the allusion to them in the several works of Tartaglia
(namely, the Genm-ale Trattato, the Quesiti Diversi, and the Raglonamenti),
whence we also derive the information that these debates, which attracted
at that period much more attention than they would at present, were con-
ducted in the most solemn manner, the challenges between the two cham-
pions being delivered by heralds, marching in a grand procession, with
their flags, accompanied by a crowd of people, proceeding the same as if

c2

20 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETIOISr OF

for a knightly toiivnament. The occasion of this deadly feud between two
emment mathematicians arose thus : Tlie resolution of the algebraical
question of the third degree was discovered, as is well known, by a professor
at Bologna, named Scipio Ferro, towards the beginning of the XVIth
Century, but who died without publishing liis secret. His method, how-
ever, it seems, was guessed by Tartaglia, who communicated it to Cardan,
under the most solemn promise (by oath) that he would never divulge it.
But Cardan soon forgot his promise, and, heedless of his oath, made the
method of resolution public. From that moment a tierce enmity arose
between the two mathematicians, and a long literary quarrel was the con-
sequence of this dishonourable behaviour. Cardan, smarting under the
reproach of having committed perjury, stirred up against Tartaglia one of
his own pupils, a Bolognese, like Ferro, the celebrated Lud. Ferrari, who had
discovered the resolution of the question of the fourth degree, but is gene-
rally supposed to have died without having published any thing, a fact
disproved by the discovery of this volume.

The present Cartelli and Kisposte, twelve in number, are the original defiances
and replies sent by the champions to each other, and contain the whole of
the scientific questions proposed either by Ferrari or Tartaglia, with the
answers. Although mentioned in the works of Tartaglia, these Cartelli
remained totally unknown until a distinguished professor of the University
of Bologna (M. Silvestro Gherardi, now professor at the Royal University
of Turin) discovered this copy, and published its contents in 184G at Bologna,
in his most interesting work Di alcuni materiali per la storia della facolta
matematlca in Bologna, which, like the original, has, however, now also
become exceedingly scarce, and much sought after, although containmg
only eleven of these Cartelli, all tliat at the time had been discovered.
Since then Professor Gherardi had the good fortune to find the twelfth (the
answer of Tartaglia to the sixth Cartello of Ferrari), and has now added it
at the end of this treasure, and not bemg reprinted in the materiali, it still
remains, in all probability, the only copy in existence. In this great
curiosity not only have we six original tracts of Ferrari (perhaps the greatest
mathematician of his time, and who was supposed not to have pubhshed
any thing, for even Mr. jVIorley (Life of Cardan, vol. I, p. 265), speaking
of Ferrai-i, says, " Honourably named and little more, for he died young,
and left no written works behind him"), but we have them with his
autograph several thnes repeated. In the first Cartello, Ferrari mentions
numerous persons in different towns of Italy (more numerous perhaps than
it would be possible to find there at the present time), who were able mathe-
maticians and good judges of the matter, to whom he states that he will
forward his Cartelli. Amongst these is to be found Signor Niccolo Simo, at
Bologna ; and the various Cartelli contained in this volume are addressed
in Ferrari's autograph to the said Niccolo Simo, each address in precisely
the same handwriting. The fact of the Risposta of Tartaglia being also
addressed in the same handwriting is explained by Tartaglia's postscript to
the first Rispiosta, wherein is stated that as Tartaglia was not personally
acquainted with the various mathematicians named by Ferrari in his first
letter, he had sent to him 54 copies of his answer, one for Ferrari himself,
and the other 53 to be forwarded to such persons as had been honoured
with the cartel.

This extraordinary volume was obtained by M. Libri from Prof. Gherardi, who
has ^vritten on the fly-leaves at the beginning an interesting statement
respecting his long and persevering inquiries for another copy tln-oughout
the whole of the jiublic and private libi-aries of Italy, which resulted in
proving that the present collection is quite unique, and that only one of the
Ti-acUi in this volume, tlie second Cartello of Ferrari, could be traced, and
that existed in the celebrated library of St. Mark, at Venice. In the
Seconda Risposta there is a correction of some figures in the autograph of
Tartaglia.

The importance of these works, especi Uy that of Alhazen, is ably pointed out by
M. Delambrein his Astronomic Ancienne (vol. II, pp. 411-432). The work
of Vitello, who thus Latinized his Polish name Ciolek, is one of the best
productions of the Xllltli Century, whether considered as to its ai-range-
ment or the quantity of facts adduced therein. The author quotes Alhazen,
but seems to have carefully and beautifully compared his statements with
those of the Greek philosophers, which he luidoubtedly drew from the
original sources. Euclid and Ptolemy are his grand authorities, but con-
stantly strengthened by observations drawn frona Apollonius, Theodosius,
Menelaus, Tlieo, Pappus, Proclus, Eutocius, and other Greek mathe-
maticians.

Yves de Paris. This original edition, which was printed at the sole expense
of the Marquis d'Asserac, is much sought after by the curious, as in the
reprint the predictions respecting Europe, the sole cause of the work being
condemned to the flames, were entirely omitted. Amongst the predictions
to England are in 166G " 7na/jna calamifas," (the year of the Great Fire of
London), 1691, "magna Reipublicfe turbatio " (General Ginkel's Wars in
Ireland), 1705, " adversa omnia'''' (a mistake, witness the Successes of the
Duke of Marlborough and Earl of Peterborough), 1756, " minatur maximum
excidium''' (War declared against France), 1884 " maxima adversitas .^^ ! ! !

The manuscript additions are also extremely curious. For instance, under the
year 1770, in regard to France the Author prophesies " res tu7-batce et in ■
cUnantes ad mutationem familice^'' a prediction nearly borne out by the
disputes of Louis XV with all the Parliaments of his kingdom. In the
year 1860 he predicts for France ^'- maxima ftdicttas et Regni summa Propa-
gatio^'' curiously fulfilled by the annexation of Nice and Savoy.

Port Royal, whom he describes as scare-crows, and says : " They have
this pleasure in drinking that what they put into their beUies, they soon
sti-oak out at their finger ends, for, instead of exonerating they f— t and

A poetical volume of considerable rarity, which must always prove extremely
attractive to the English or American Collector. The " Epithalame," or
the " Canto Nupcial y otro Matrimonial" on the Marriage of Philip II of
Spain with Maiy Queen of England, is in Spanish, a fact totally over-
looked by the Bibliographers who have given the title of the work.

According to Brunet, this highly interesting work, first wi-itten in French by
Jean de Lery, and then translated by himself, is much rarer in its Latin
dress than in its original. It is also, in reality, more valuable, as it con-
tains passages that were suppressed in the French. Amongst other
things, the Author gives musical notes to show the intonation of the
Caraibs &c. a fact totally unknown to Fdtis. Even the preface is most
interesting, as in it is to be found the letter wi'itten to Calvin by Ville-
gagnon, so celebrated for deceiving the English Squadron, bj- unexpectedly
circumnavigating Scotland and conveying from its west coast Mary Queen
of Scotland safely into Brittany. In chapter XX is a dialogue in Brasilian
and Latin. The entu-e work bears internal e\'idence of truth, and such
only as an eye-witness of the events could have composed.

292 America. Lettere di Principi Libro primo

Ji7ie copy in limp vellum 4ito. Venetia, 1564

Many of these Letters throw much light on English History, especially those
addressed to the Legates in England. The long letter from Gonzalo
Hernandez de Oviedo, addressed to Cardinal Bembo respecting Pizarro, is
highly important for the history of the Conquest of Peru.

293 America. Lettere di Principi Libro primo 4ito. Venetia, 1573

Containing the celebrated letter of Gonzalo Hernandez de Oviedo to Cardinal
Bembo, respecting the navigation of the River Maranon by the Spaniards

In this remarkable work (f. ii), allusion is made to the recent discovery of
America by the Spaniards. On the margins of the " de Ventis," in an old
handwriting, is a transcript of the rare Latin poem on the winds (see Libri
Catalogue of MSS. No. 229), which oilers some important various readings.
The Vita Caroli (enriched with cotemporary MS. Additions) is not a
biography, but a TRUE Romance of Chivalry, with its Roland, Oliver,
&c. The chapter on Arithmetic seems to have escaped the indefatigable
Professor De Morgan.

title as " Dyalogus m modum coraici dramatis formatus a J. Stamler

Stamler to Jacob Locher, dated 13 Kal. Junii 150G, is of the highest
interest to American collectors, as he mentions by name Christopher
Columbus and Albericus Vespucius as the discoverers of the New World.
The Drama has a marginal Commentary, which is important not only to
theologians as pointing out heresies, but also to the astronomer. Stamler
seems to have been an enemy to judicial astrology.

H iii, I iii, and having the corners of b iiiii and of 4 leaves at end
mended folio. Straszhurg von Martino Schotten, 1484

This curious work, containing the earliest known decisions in the Court of Love,
was written in Latin by Andrew Chaplain of Pope Innocent IV, circa 1260.
How, or why, HartUeb should attribute the pieces to Ovid and Albertanus,
must remain a mystery, as he undoubtedly had before him the original
Latin, bearing the real name of the author, when he made his translation.
The mystery is rendered still greater by his having prefixed a letter from
Albertanus, the Judge of Brescia, addressed to Walter the Briton.

This edition of Leonardo Aretino, in the original, is pronounced by Moreni

like Ariosto as a lily is like Lucifer . The portrait of Ariosto

by Titian, at the Manfruii Palace — Venice— is the portrait of poetry — and
the poetry of portrait — ." It is, however, a curious fact, that what Byron
took for an intended portrait of Ariosto is only the so universally known
portrait of Dante, printed on the title-page of the book as the device or
insegna of the well-knoAvn bookseller and publisher, Giuseppe Molini of
Florence, who (as is stated on the same title-page) lived at the insegna di

The earliest Arithmetic ever published, apparently never .seen by Dr.
Peacock, Professor De Morgan (who mentions it only on the autho-

54 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETTON OF

rity of other bibliographers) and other Writers on the subject. Tlie
only bibliographer who appears to have been personally acquainted with
its existence Avas Pederici, who describes the work in his Memorie Trevi-
giane (p. 73), and ascribes it to the press of Michiele Manzolo, one of the
earliest of the Treviso printers. As the copy mentioned by Federiei has
been lost or mislaid, subsequent bibliographers have doubted or denied its
existence, and looked upon his statement as some blunder, the more espe-
cially, as in spite of the most diligent search by Brunet and other philo-
biblists, no copy can be discovered in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, the
British Museum, or any other library, public or private. To the Mathe-
matician, OR Collector of rare books, this is undoubtedly a gem
OF extraordinary interest.

The work is printed in a semi-gothic letter, with 32 lines to a full page,
and is without signatures, catchwords, or pagination. The entire volume
contains 0'2 leaves, the reverse of the last (containing only Registro and
impi'int) being blank. The numerals throughout are Arabic.

In the case of the present volume, as in other similar cases, when we
state that a book was unknown to M. Brunet, Professor De Morgan, or M.
Fetis, it is only to prove the great rarity of a work which has escaped the
notice of such eminent bibliographers, and not at all with any critical
intention of censuring the invaluable labours of these celebrated men.

This edition was unknown to Professor De Morgan, Brunet, and all other
bibliographers. A reprint of 1548 sold for 155 francs in 1858 (see Brunet's
edition of 1860). This extremely scarce book is full of fine and curious
woodcuts (including digital arithmetic), and borders, with great number
of tableaux, with xylographic inscriptions and calculations, as to render
the book a sort of Italian xijlixiraphic monument like the Opera nuova,
printed at Venice about 1510, which is preserved in a case at the British
Museum. The work contams curious arithmetical and algebraical problems.
The volume is composed of 80 leaves, and contains 80 xylographic plates,
19 of which occupy each the entire page,

introduction by Colebrooke.

478 Arithmetic. Algorismus novus de integris compendiose sine figu-

rarum (more Italorum) deletione compilatus
lilacfe letter, extremely rare, fine copy, toith rough leaves

4to. s. I. ^ a. (S.EC. XV. circa 1491)
This scarce work is described by Professor De Murgan in his additions. It
consists of ten leaves (signatures a, b), having on the reverse of the fourth
leaf thirty-six lines. On the title we find " Addita etiam regula," instead
of " Addita regida," as hi Prof. De Morgan's description, which shows
that the present is a diflerent edition from that which that learned mathe-
matician had in his hands. The word regula at the end, instead of regla,
shows that it differs also from that which M. Brmiet describes, in his
last edition (18G0) of the Manuel, as the first of those which he mentions.
Probably, however, om* edition may be the No. 827 of Hain. As at pages
8, 11, and 12, of our edition, 1491, is named as anni doralni currentis, very
probably this is the year of the edition, or at least of the composition of
the work. This small volume was presented by S. Boze to Alb. Linemann,
a celebrated astronomer of the XVllth Centmy (see Lalande), as is apparent
from an autograph mscription on the reverse of the title.

479 Arithmetic. Algorithmus Linealis {Incipit ad evitandum multi-

pUces ALercatorum Errores, ^"c.)
btacfe letter, with device of Martinus Hcrhipolensis at end, rare, hut
wormed 4ito. s. I. ^ a. {LipsicB, circa 1488)

This edition does not seem to agree vv^ith any one of the works described by
Professor De Morgan.

480 Arithmetic. Algorithmus Linealis

i&lacfe letter, scarce, fine copy 4to.

s. I. ^ a. sed Lipsice, cum Scuto Martini Serhipolensis, circa 1490
Professor De Morgan quotes this work on the authority of Hain, but states he
had no opportunity of seemg a copy. It contains the description of a sort
of Souan Pan, or arithmetical calculating machine.

481 Arithmetic. Algoritmes LineaKs, icoodcuts

blaefe letter, extremely rare, very large copy, ivith rough leaves, having

another loorJc on Algorithm loritten in a cotemporary hand on the

margins Mo. LipczJc, 1505

Professor De Morgan quotes only an edition printed at the same place m 1500.

The work is a description of an Abacus -with Balls, similar to the Chinese

Souan Pan, the discovery of which in this work is attributed to Appulegius

Philosophus. M. Brunet (edition of 1860) only quotes subsequent editions

of this work.

482 Arithmetic. Algorithmus Linealis Numerationem, Additionem,

Subtractionem, Duplationem, Mediationem, Multiplication em, Divi-
sionem et Progressionem, una cum Eegula de Tri per stringens
(cum Epistola dedicatoria H. Stromeri)
extremely RARE,^ne cojjy, the title ivitliin an elegant woodcut border
4ito. Liptzh per Martinum Herhipolensem (cu7n ejusdem Scuto), 1516

Brunet, who devotes special articles to Abbaco and Algorithmus in the new
edition of his Manuel (1860) in spite of all his researches, does not seem to
have met with any copy of this edition, as no mention is made of it.
Neither is it mentioned by Pi"ofessor De Morgan, or any other author on
Arithmetical books, a most convincing proof of its great rarity. It is
a totally different work from the Algoriiim,us Linealis, printed by the same
prmter m the XVth Century.

66 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OE

A curious work, containing the characters used by the ancients to denote their
measures, the numerical figures employed by various nations, a Latin
Abacus, ancient poems " de Ponderibus," &c. &c.

485 Arithmetic. Aniani (Magistri) Compofeus Manualis metricus, cum

Comento, et Algorismus
vert scarce, fine copy 4:to. Argentines per Joliannem JPrgss, 1488

Professor De Morgan considers this Compotus the only work of the sort printed
in the XVth Century. The Algorismus is an early treatise on arithmetic,
beginning by Omnia que a primeva, and ascribing to an imaginary philoso-
pher, Algus, the origin of the Arabic m-s numerandi. This exceedingly
scarce book appears to be the first arithmetical work ever printed in a
French town (Strasbourg). This edition of the Algorismus has remained
unknoA\Ti to M. Brunet, for in the new edition of his Manuel, in which he
has devoted a special article to Algorismus, it is not mentioned.

486 Arithmetic. Aniani Liber Corapoti, cum Comento, ivoodciits

4<to. sine loco aut anno {circa 1500)

Tills scarce edition was unknown to Professor De Morgan. It contains nine
large woodcuts, with xylographic inscriptions, several of which exhibit
large hands with borders, occupying the whole page,

487 Arithmetic. Aniani Compotus, cum Commeuto, xylograpliic liands

semt=goti)tc letter, rare 8^o. JParisius, per Johannem Ysahel, 1502

This curious treatise is in verse. On the title-page stands the large device of
De Marnef. This edition was totally unknown to bibliographers, including
Lalande who, however, under the year 1519, fully describes the nature of
this interesting work.

The Arithmetica communis is an extract from Boethius, by John de Muris ; the
Proportiones is the work of Thomas Bradwardine, Archbishop of Canter-
bury; the Tract de Latitudinibus treats on the areas of figures, according to
the Doctrine of Nicholas Horem (a work stated by Fabricius not to have
been printed) ; the Algorithmus, by Purbach, although apparently written
to explain the Arabic Notation, takes it for granted that it is generally
knoMNTi ; and the Treatise of John of Gmimden is on sexagesimal fractions.
See De Morgan's '• Arithmetical Books."

492 Aeithmetic. Arithraeticae practicae prima Elementa facili Methodo ad

Very scarce. Unknown to Professor De Morgan.

493 Aeithmetic^ practicae Tractatus qui dicitur Algorismus, cum addi-

tionibus utiliter adjunctis 4to.

Paris, " ill edihus Joannis Gourmontii e regione Collegii Coqueretici" s. a.

A tract so excessively rare that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan,
to M. Brunet (see last edition of Manuel), and to all the bibliographers we
have been able to peruse. Jean Gourmont, who printed at Paris, in the
year 1514, the Cleopolis of Stoa, is less known than Robert Gourmont.
His typographical device on the title of the present Tractatus, exliibits
the arms of the family with some difference in the ornament from that on
Robert's, as given by M. Brunet, and with these additional French verses,
" Qui na sutfisance na riens —
Chascun soit content de ses biens."
The present Tractatus is perhaps the first modem popular treatise on
arithmetic printed in Paris, the other arithmetical works printed in folio,
about the same time in that city, not being much fitted for popular use.

494 Aeithmetic. Barbirolo (A.) Giuochi di Carte beUissimi

A very rare work on Cards, totally unknown to Mazzuchelli. It contains
various " giuochi d'Abbaco."

This book is so scarce that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, who
mentions only a Latin " Rithmimachia," printed at Paris in 1496 and
1514.

496 Aeithmetic. Barozzi (F.) Cosmographia in quattro Libri divisa,

Prefixed are the Principles of Arithmetic and Geometry. The work seems to
have been unknown to Lalande and to Professor De Morgan.

497 Aeithmetic. Bartoli (C.) Del Mode di misurare le Distantie, le

Superficie, i Corpi, le Piante, le Provincie, le Prospettire, & tutte le

With an arithmetical treatise at the end, containing a mode of extracting the
square roots by decimal approximation.

58 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF

498 A EITHMETIOA. Bassi (Giulio) Arimmetica Pratica e Geometria pratica,

with frontispiece and fine portrait of the author, ly Coriolano
half bound vellum. folio. Piacenza, 1645

A work of considerable rarity, as it never was seen by Professor De Morgan,
who inserts the name of the author only in the index to his list of Arith-
metical books. At the beginning there are some attempts at curious nota-
tion (by the means of dots or exponents), in order to show how to express
the names of great numbers,

499 Aeithmetica. Bassi (G.) Arimmetica e Greometria pratica

folio. Piacenza, 1666

Scarce, and apparently never seen by the learned Professor De Morgan, who
merely inserts the name of Bassi in the index to his "Arithmetical Books,"
without giving the title of the work. The Proemio contains curious
information respecting the history of algebra. Leonardo Fibonacci's manu-
script works are disbelieved, and curious notations employed, amongst
which is remarkable a peculiar use of the dot (.) over and under the arith-
metical figures.

Professor De Morgan has given an interesting account of the first edition of
this work printed about 1558,

2 vol. with the arms and beautifiil portrait of Charles Emanuel II of
Savoy, frontispiece, and numerous plates
THICK PAPER, uncut foUo. BononicB, 1645

A work, not only useful to the mathematician, but also well-nigh indispensable
to the painter and musician. The second volume contains a treatise of
arithmetic, with curious inquiries respecting indeterminate problems, and
conjectures respecting the origin of the modern arithmetical figures, which
Bettini derives from the various number of dots used to express the same
numbers, Brunet says that it is difficult to find these volumes, and this is,
no doubt, the reason why they have not been mentioned among Prof, De
Morgan's arithmetical books. See also under Bettini in the present
Catalogue,

This Apiaria novissima forms the third part of Bettini's Apiaria, and is the
most scarce of the three. (See Brunet), It contains much curious informa-
tion, for instance (sec page 13G) the description of an hygrometer (called
by Bettini Udiscopimn) invented by the buys at 'i^ologwa., pueriBomnienses.

Bhascara was born in the year of Salivahana, 1036 (A.D. 1114), and was the
most eminent mathematician of his time. His LiUwati and Bija Ganita
seem to have entirely superseded the more ancient Treatises on Arithmetic
and Geometry. The Introductions by Taylor and Strachey are important
for the history of science in India. The Liliwati sold for 26 francs at the
Langles sale, and the Bija Ganita for 40 francs in 1857. See Brunet
(edition of 1860.)

An extremely rare work on arithmetic, as well as on quadi-atic and cubic equa-
tions, partly in prose and partly in verse, unknown to Prof. De Morgan.
It contains curious inquu'ies respecting the theory of numbers.

508 Aeithmetic. Blieestoep (A.) Arithmet-Geomet-Quadrat-und Cubic-

A collection of 133 aritlmietical questions with solutions. The work is so
scarce that it has escaped the researches of Professor De Morgan. The
second part of this volume contains a selection of arithmetical and alge-
braical problems m verse.

509 Aeithmetic. Boetii (A. M. S.) Arithmetica, with diagrams

This edition has always been considered a gi-eat rarity, and even so early as
1775 it sold for £2. 2s. at Dr. Askew's sale. Probably in consequence of
its great ivarity this edition was neither seen nor mentioned by Professor
De Morgan.

This is a most interesting copy as it has the autograph signature (on
title-page) and notes of Petri de Borgio, the celebrated Arithmetician,
whose work, -smtteu in Italian and printed at Venice in 1484, is entitled
" La nobel Opera di Aritlunetica." (See Nos. 512, 513, 514.)

lication of both, scholars are mdebted to the liberality of the learned Prince
Boncompagni.

riEST EDITION, BXTEEMELY EAEE, Jine copy, half morocco

^to. Venetia, 1484

Sold for 151 francs in 1857 (Brunet, edition of 1860). The edition of 1482,
mentioned by Maittaire, on the authority of a mistake in the Pinelli Cata-
logue, is clearly proved by Brunet, Prof. De Morgan, and others, never to
have existed. The earliest mentioned by the learned Mazzuchelli is this of
1484, which, however, he could not have seen, or he would not have
doubted Orlandi having any authority to call Borgo a Venetian, since Soprani
and Oldoini had both placed him among the Scrittori Liguri, for the
author in this work distinctly designates himself " Piero Borgi da
Veniesia." The list of numerical abbreviations at the commencement
deserves notice.

513 Abithmetic. Boegi (Piero) Qui comenza la nobel Opera de Arithme-

EXTEEMELT EAEE, veri/ large copy

small ito. Veniexia, per Zouanne de SalV, 1488

Mazzuchelli, who does not mention this edition, could evidently have never
seen even the 1484 he cites, or he would not have doubted the correctness
of Orlandi in calling the author P. Borgi di Venezia. Boi-gi is referred to
by Tartaglia.

This edition was also unknown to Mazzuchelli, for he takes no notice of it. Had
he ever seen the book he never would have asserted, " la cui patria non ci
e ben nota," as herein the author is distinctly stated to be " Piero Borgi
da Venesia," and this fact is again repeated in a sonnet at the end.

This book, by Thomas Bradwardine Archbishop of Canterbury, must be exceed-
ingly scarce as it has escaped the notice of Professor De Morgan, who, in
his Arithmetical Boohs, speaks of a treatise of the same author on propor-
tions, printed at Vienna in 1515, but does not mention the present work.

as the decimals of a pound gain their proper footing The whole work

is copper-plate engraving from beginning to end."

ornamented binding, usually found on books coming from the Library
of the lledici Family square 8vo. Firenze, 1491

Probably one of the rarest of Arithmetical Books, thus alluded to by Prof.
De Morgan, no mean authority on the subject : — " This book, which very
few have mentioned at all, and fewer still from inspection, is a part of the
rich bequest by the late Mr. Grenville to the nation, &c." In the Gren-
ville Catalogue, on the authority of Laire, this is stated to be the first
work printed on arithmetic, but that assertion is disproved by the Abbaco
printed in 1478 (see No. 470 of the present Catalogue). Dr. Dihdin has
descnhed another, "a very indifferent copy," wanting the title-page, in liis
.Supplement to the Catalogue of Earl Spencer's magnificent Library, and
has given facsimiles of the method " of teaching numbers by means of the
position of the fingers," and of several of the other v:oodcuts. Judging
from the binding, this was probably the dedication copy to Julian, Son
OF the ]\Iagnifico Lorenzo de Medici.

" Cataldi shews himself a most intrepid calculator. But the greatest novelty of
the book is the introduction of continued fractions, then, it seems, for the
first time presented to the world." — Prof. De Morgan.

It is well known that the discovery of continued fractions was, for
more than a century and a half, attributed to Ijord Brounker, See also
"Cataldi" in the present Catalogue.

Very rare ; Cataneo's name is inserted by Professor De Morgan in his Index,
but as a work not seen by him, for he has not given the title of it. Cataneo
quotes Leonardo Pisano respecting the "Indian" aritlimetical tigures, and
gives the solution of a curious 2J/-o&/e««a di sltuazione " dei tre mariti

of the theory of numbers.

526 Arithmetic. Citolini (A.) Tipocosmia 8vo. Venet. Valqrisi, 1561

A very curious and rare work, which may be regarded as a synopsis of science,
arranged in dialogues divided into seven days. It treats of Astronomy,
Arithmetic, Geometry, Geography, Music, Painting, Sculpture, &c. The
author has escaped the notice of Lalande, Professor De }.Iorgan, F(jtis,
and other celebrated bibliographers. Fontanini and Zeuo both mention tlie
Tipocosmia as tinged with "proposizione ereticali."

printed at Nuremberg in 1530, but knew of no other edition.

528 Arithmetic. Condorcet (Marquis de) Moyens de compter surement

VERY RARE, uncut 4:to. Attgustcd Vijidelicortwi, 1515

This work, which in consequence of its rarity seems to have been totally-
unknown to Lalande, Professor De Morgan, and other wi-iters on Mathe-
matics, was printed " communibus impensis Joannis Miller atque Joannis
Fcenisecse," and is probably the earliest record of a literary partnership
between an author and his printer. The numerous woodcuts, some the
size of the page, also relate to perspective, (jeometry, etc. and likewise exhibit
the curious game of rithmomachia. In this volume also are engi-aved Musi-
cal notations (some with xylographic inscriptions), and as a curious fact
may be noted that common musical notes are here employed to show how
Hebrew should be pronounced. Ancient manuscript annotations and
additions on the margin, apparently by the author himself, add to the
importance of this most interesting volume.

This scarce work, a portable Cyclopsedia of the Learning then necessary to
constitute a Scholar, is not mentioned by Professor De Morgan. Besides
Latin, Greek and Hebrew Grammars, there is a curious Dialogue in
French for the learning of that language. It contains numerous chansons
in different languages, including two Odce of Horace, all with musical
notes.

Neither of these works of Gottignies was apparently known to Professor De
Morgan, who however speaks in high terms of his Logistica universalis,
printed in 1687.

THE LIBEI LIBEAEY. 65

549 Aetthmetic. Ghaligai (F.) Pratica d'Aritbmetica

4:to. Firenze, Giunfi, 1552
This edition is so rare that it was unknown to Professor De Morgan, who men-
tions two others, one without date, and the other 1562. Ghaligai mentions
Giovanni del Socio as his own master, to whom and to Lionardo Pisano he
assigns the appended Treatise on Algebra, by him termed Arcibra, a
science he states to have been introduced from the Arabic by Guglielmo de
Lunis. In regard to Numeration Ghaligai quotes Paolo da Pisa, and res-
pecting Algebra, Euclid, Leonardo Pisano, and Giovamii del Sodo. The
twelfth book of this work on the quadratic indeterminate equations is
taken from a celebrated work of Leonardo Pisano, lost a long time, but
recently discovered again through the indefatigable exertions of the learned
Prince Boncompagni.

vellmn 4tto. in one vol.

This Arithmetica is the Introduction to Logistica Universalis, published at
Naples in 1687, of which M. De Morgan gives a very favourable account.
The Author was an eminent Mathematician, and evidently far superior
to the average of his contemporaries.

Contains several Treatises on Arithmetic and Algorism by Sacro Bosco (de
Arte numerandi), Alexander de Villadei, &c. Professor De Morgan,
however, has shown that i\Ir. Halliwell was T\Tong in publisliing Sacrobosco
as inedited, as it had been printed at Venice in 1523.

555 Arithmetic. Kircberi (A.) Aritbmologia sive de abditis Numerorum

Mysteriis, frontispiece and curious ivoodcuts
tmcuf ^to. Pomes, 1665

Professor De Morgan does not seem to have seen this learned and scarce work,
as he mentions Kircher only on the authority of Dr. Peacock iu his
excellent Chronological List of Works on Arithmetic. This Aritlimologia
is highly interesting for the history of numerical figures, deriving, on the
authority of Abenragel, the origin of the Arabic numerals, " a Brahmanis
Indise Sapientibus ex figura circuli secti inventi." This work contains
also many curious indeterminate problems and " arcana numerorum."

66 THE MISCELLANEOUS PORTION OF

556 Aeithmetio. Kobel (Jacob, Statachreyber zu Oppenheym) Eechen-

piichlein
fclacit letter, very rare '&vo. Oppenheym, 1522

An edition so rare that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, who
mentions an edition printed at AiTgsburg in 1514, and reports another on
the authority of Kloss as printed at Opjienheym hi the same year. Kastner
mentions only an edition printed at Frankfurt in 1544, and evidently knew
no other. In this Arithmetic the computation is by Counters and Roman
Numerals, the Arabic being merely explained and placed in that portion
showing how any number should be expressed at length in words, or by
Roman or Arabic signs,

557 Akithmetic. Lana (P.) Prodrome overo Saggio di alcune Inventioni

nuove premesso all' Arte Maestra Opera che prepara, ^:)?ff^es
vet^y scarce folio. Brescia, 1670

As is well known to scientific men this is the first work in which an Air-
BaUoon was described and iigured, but his descriptions of other useful and
curious inventions have been apparently unnoticed or ignored. Amongst
these we call attention to the Method of teachmg the Deaf and Dumb to
Write, the Application of Meteorological Changes to the Motion of Clocks,
the Observations on Ai-ithmetic (not mentioned by the learned Professor
De Morgan), the Descriptions of Microscopes, Telescopes, &c. &c.
Unfortunately for his reputation Lana was a believer in Alchemy, especially
in the Transmutation of Metals,

558 Arithmetic. Laurenbergii (J.) Ocimn Soranum sive Epigraminata

continentia varias Historias, & res scitu jucundas, ex Grsecis Latinis-
que Scriptoribus depromptas, & Excercitationibus Arithmeticis

A work of considerable rarity, unknown to Professor De Morgan, who mentions
this Author's Arithmetica, printed at Sora m 1643. On the margins of
this copy are the workings of several of the smns in a neat handwriting of
the period.

559 Arithmetic. Laurenbergii (J.) Arithmetica, peculiaribus Observa-

tionibus, & Exemplis Historicis illiistrata, Itidem Algebrse Principia
rare 4ito. Sorce, 1643

A curious work, containing the solutions of numerous algebraic problems, some
indetei'minate. The Arabic origin of the word algebra is here derived from
" its inventor Al-Geber," and we note as a curious fact that the Arabic
characters used to express the different powers given in this work, are in
perfect accordance with the modern European notation,

560 Arithmetic. Leybourn (W.) Arithmetical Eecreations (with com-

pendious Rules in Arithmetick) 3 2mo. London, 1667

Not mentioned by Professor De Morgan. Without doubt this was the original
work which, enlarged afterwards by the author, appeared in 1694, under the
title of "Recreations of Divers Ivinds." (See De Morgan.)

561 Arithmetic. Leonardo Pisano Opuscoli (sui numeri quadrati) pubbli-

cati da B. Boncompagni, seconda edizione, plate
presentation copy, with autograph inscription of Prince Boncompagni

%vo. Firenze, 1846

Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonaccij was the most illustrious mathematician of the
Xlllth century. In this second edition Prince Boncompagni says, that he
has corrected many errors which were in the first, published by him in
1854. (For other writings of this author see Leonardo Pisano in the pre-
sent Catalogue).

extremely rare, Jine copy Suo. Vinegia per Oomin cle Trino, 1546

This extremely rare book, which remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, is
partly i)riuted in red and partly in black. After the first leaf, containuig the
title and the usual Address of the Stampatore to the reader, we find five pages
with the alphabet and some prayers printed in ditierent kinds of gothic
and italic letters, followed by almost four jiages in Roman characters con-
taining other prayers, and then two pages and a half with precepts con-
cerning readuig and writing. Then follow four pages, entirely xylographic,
with various characters, and at the end we find the Abaco, tilling entirely
thirty-one pages in italic, witli the various abljreviations employed at that
time "in la Cita di Vinegia," The signatures, types, etc. in this volume
(in which even the caracieres cle civilite are employed towards the end) are
so rude and irregular as to show that this book, as is stated by the printer
at the lieginji.Ing, was issued only for children, and this will account for its
rarity, nearly every copy no doubt having been thoroughly destroyed in
the use.

566 Arithmetic. Mariani (Zuane) TarifFa perpetua, slightli/ ivormed

half vellum 12mo. Venetia, per gli Heredi di F. Rampazetto, 1580

These Mercantile Tables are not unjustly considered as great rarities, most of
the copies havhig no doubt been destroyed by constant use. Although
Professor De Morgan gives the name of Mariani in his Index, he does not
seem to have seen the book, as he does not give the title of the work.

567 Arithmetic. Medices (Sixtus) de Latinis Numerorum Xotis, yert

RARE, unknown to Renouard, ivho mentions three other works of this
Author, Venetiis {Aldus), 1557 — Fragmenta vetustissimorum Auto-
rum (the Forgeries of Anniiis Viterhensis) , with the Autograph of
" Fr Sixtus Medices possessor,'" the celehrated Author of the frst
loorh in the volume, Basilece, 1530 — Leonard! [Bruni] Aretini
Eerum suo Tempore in Italia gestarum Commentarius. Ejusdem de

The first work is very interesting for the history of Arithmetic.

568 Arithmetic. Metii (A.) Manuale Arithmeticae et GeometrioB Prac-

ticse, Belgice, vellwn 8vo. Franeker, 1646

This book, which is so scarce as to have remained vmkno^vn to Professor De
Morgan, contams also a Translation of Lord Napier's Rhabdologia.

569 Arithmetic. Monari (A.) Tariffa uella quale con Prestezza e Facilita

This Ready -Reckoner and its Author seem to have been unknown to Professor
De Morgan.

A collection of rare works made by Dr. C Hutton, whose autograph signature
and list of contents is on the fly-leaf. The geometria of Bradwardine is
interesting : it eontahis the theory of the Pohjgones etoiles. This first
edition of the learned Archbishop of Canterbury's geometrical work was

A posthumous work on his Invention, usually termed " Napier's Rods," with
applications. The use of decimal fractions, expressly attributed to Stevin,
renders it very remarkable. Napier is considered to be the inventor of
the decimal point, but erroneously. He ^\Tites 1993-273 thus, 19932' 7" 3'".

Ortega's work, printed at Lyons in the same year, 1515 ; and an Itahan
edition, Messina, 1522, in folio of a similar if not identical work. The work
is dedicated to the celebrated Agostino Ghisi (or Chigi), who was one of

the patrons of Raphael. Ortega, a Spanish mathematician, seems to have
spent nearly all his life in Italy. He lived in Florence several years after-
wards. (See Maura in this Catalogue.)

EXTREMELY BABE, Jiiie copy ill Irown morocco, super extra, gilt edges,
the sides covered with blind tooling hy L. Fixon

small 4:fo. Lyon, Estienne JSalaud, 1515

This is the fist look on Arithmetic ever printed m the French language, and is
professedly a translation from the Spanish of L'Ortie, or Ortega, {both
signifying Nettle). Of the Spanish original, if ever printed prior to 1515,
no copy can now be foimd ; and this French version differs considerably
from the Italian printed at Rome in the same year. Although both works
agi'ee in some poi'tions, the French contains so many things not in the
Italian that it may be regarded as a different work.

According to M. Brunet (on the authority of M. Chasles), the first work on
Algebra, published in French is the " Arismetique d'Et. de Laroche,"
printed at Lyons in 1520. But, like most of the aritlmietical books pub-
lished at that time, the present arismetique by Ortega contains also much
algebraical matter, and it was published five years before that of Laroche.
It must be noticed that, amongst other things relating to the theory of
numbers, the work of Ortega contains a table of the divisions and prime
numbers (called here qui ne tiennent regie) up to 99. In the chcqntre de
progression (fol. xxi) it is e^'ident that Ortega by the help of what he
calls maisons, went so for as to know that in order to multiply two terms
of a progi-ession, he had to add together the indexes of the terms of the
same progression. This is the basis of the exponential notation and
calculus, a very important discovery. This chapter on progi-ession is not
in the Itaban work printed at Rome.

Hutton pronounces this work " a very masterly and complete treatise on those

(Tracts vol. II, p. 201-206) ; but the best account of Pacioli, (the guidmg
star of succeeding geometricians) and of his -vsTitings, will be found in
the Arithmetical Books by Prof. De Morgan, and in the Histoire des Sciences
MatMmatiques en Italic par G. Libn,'" vol. Ill, pp. 133-145. One fact
seems to have escaped unnoticed, which is, that at the beginning of the
work (after the first eight preliminary leaves), besides a beautiful border,
there is the portrait of the Author, which is also repeated in other parts
of the volume. A copy sold for 80 francs at Labey's sale.

578 Aeithmettc. Pacioli (L.) Summa de Aritbmetica, Geometria,

Second edition of the foregoing work, " described," says Professor De Morgan,
" by Hutton, Montucla, Peacock, Libri, &c. ; but it would yet require a
volume of description to do it justice. It is sometunes called the first work
on Arithmetic printed ; but Calandri, Peter Borgo, three already mentioned
in the introduction, and perhaps more, take precedence. But it is cer-
tainly the first printed on Algebra, and probably the first on book-keeping."
A copy sold for 71 francs in Paris. See Brunet, edition of 1860, and also
the account of its curious titlepage (deficient in the British Museum copy)
in Morley's Life of Cardan, vol. I, p. 213-14.

70 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OE

579 Arithmetic. Paris da Montefano (Fra Ludovico) Scala d'Araceli

moltiplicata, loitli the folding leaf sheioing the loorking of the sum

Mo. Boma, 1652

An exceedingly scarce and curious working of a sum in progression, similar to
the nails of the horseshoe, but instead of ending with the 28th duplication,
the calculating friar has extended it to the 124th, requiring a line of 38
figures to express the total. The work is divided mto 40 Comparationi,
amongst which are "A Acini di Grano, a Formiche, al Volato d'Ucelli, al
Moto de Pesci, a Lettere alfabetiche manoscritte, a lettere stampate, a
Dame vestite di Perle, al Moto de Cieli, a Acqua corrente de Fiumi, &c.
&c." It seems to be totally unknown to bibliographers, and has even
escaped the indefatigable researches of the learned Professor De Morgan.

Pasi's name only occurs in Professor De Morgan's Index, he having probably

ing the arithmetic of the Jews, and the aritlunetical notations employed by
them.

This work is so extremely rare that it remained unknown to Professor De
Morgan ; it contains veiy cui'ious problems and interesting propositions
resjiecting the properties of the exponents. The work is printed with the
peculiar orthography used by the Author.

584 Arithmetic. Poveiano (M.) II Fattore Libro d'Arithmetica et

Geometrica Pratticale, vellum Mo. Bergamo, 1582

This rare work (unkno^vn to Montucla, to Chasles, and even to the learned
Professor De Morgan) is dedicated to Unicorno, the mathematician. At
the end are various algebraical and geometrical problems (some relating to
Indeterminate Algebra) wi-itten in verse, concluding with —
Ma s' Iddio mi da vita me dclibro
Di dir d' Algebra poi nelP altro libro —
a promise the Author seems never to have redeemed.

Avenione impressus Arte et solertia Joannis de Channey, s. a. (circa 1520)

Prefixed is a treatise " de quantitate discreta" (arithmetic), which was un-
knoAvn to the whole of the bibliogTaphers whom we have been able to consult.
Even the name of Guyion was unknown to Tjalande. The volume was
printed at Avignon, very probably about 1520, by Jelian de Channey, who at
that time adopted the first Aldine anchor, and whose editions are extremely
rare. Brunet (see the Manuel in Songe, and Giroufflier) quotes four dif-
ferent books (the first m 1516) printed by Channey, whose productions at
Avignon were even unkno^^■Il to Panzer. Sec in the Manuel (vol. II, p. 413)
the anchor device of Chamiey, whose name, however, has been accidentally
omitted in the Liste of the marques Typograplmiues, at the end of the IVth
voliune of the Manuel. Renouard, in his life of Aide VAnden, mentions
only a single book printed by Channey. In this volume, havmg signatures
A-H, all the sheets consist of four leaves, with the exception of D and H,
the former of which has two leaves, and the latter six, the last leaf in the
volume being blank, and contaming ancient manuscript astronomical anno-
tations in French. The volume is presumed to be perfect, but as from
want of any other copy being known it is impossible to collate it, it will
be sold not subject to collation.

Scarce. This work seems not to have been seen by Professor De IMorgan, as
he only inserts the name of the Author in his index, without giving its title.

" Libretto di Abaco " of the same Author, published at Venice in 1526.
The Libretti seem to have been printed at the expense of the cook of the
Duke of Ferrara {M. Rinaldo Cuoco dello III. M. Duca) in 1546, although
an attempt has been made, by erasure and the use of a Pen, to alter the
date to 1552.

another work by the same Author), Weidler, Lalande, &c. The Author is
described on title-page as Francese and cittadino di Ferrara.

beautiful Manuscript ok paper, liaving a richly illuminated
titlepage, iclth several figures and the author' s portrait, surrounded hy

In old Venetian morocco, ornamented sides, gilt gaufr^ edges, with brass knobs
and clasps having stamped in letters of gold on obverse of cover. Per fare
CHE Dire," and on the reverse, " Moderata Durant." This very com-
plete Italian treatise on Arithmetic (300 pages closely written) seems un-
known to all bibliographers. The author, in his preface, informs us that
LucA DAL BoRGO was his relative " affine " and preceptor, meaning the
celebrated Pacioli, whose Summa de Arithmetica was first prmted at Venice
in 1494. It is difficult to ascertain exactly at what time this work was
written. The haudwi-iting (which is very fine), paper and binding, belong
to the second portion of the XVth Century. There are diflerent dates in
the work embodied in various problems or eserapj. For instance, from
leaf 94 to leaf 98, the whole of the numerous esempj, or calculations, sup-
pose the amount settled between the years 1370 and 1373, while at leaf
101 there is a Lettera di Camhio, with the supposed date of 1522. There
is also a figiire of a hand, sho%vkig how to find Easter from 1517 to 1544,
and in the explanation of that figm-e the author says that the rule may be
used for the future as well as for the past. It is well known that the
dates contained in the problems solved in old arithmetical books cannot
always be of a great avail for the purpose of tracing the true date of the
composition of the work, as for instance, we find in the arithmetic of
Calandri, printed at Florence in 1491, various problems with ditferent dates
from 1482 to 1495, and it may be that the esem2y', with old dates, were
taken from earlier works. Stefani, at the beginnmg of this work,
speaking to the reader, says " Sperando (questa opera) sotto U vostro
patrocinio et ombra quella potere tandem un giorno secura a luce uscire
pregoli non si sdegnino la predictta mia opera quantunque in la roza et
imperfecta eta da me compilata qiialche fiata trascorrere, perche li rendo
certi troveranno in ella molti belli et occorenti casi si da altri autori gik
in varj loclii ascosi ; et maxime dal mio Reverendo et excellente afiine et
preceptore Maestro Luca dal Borgo (in le cui laude non mi pare al pre-
sente dovermi extendere) come anche molte dal mio debole ingegno calculati

Et . . . . li piacera iudicarimi degno d'excusatione et alia decta mia

gioveuile eta ascriverlo," etc.

By comparing this manuscript with the great Snmma, written by Pacioli,
we find tliat Stefani has borrowed many things from liis preceUore et affine,
but that in many instances the Avorks (although they indicate a sort of
common origin, or affinity, as was the case between the two authors) show
considerable dififerences in the esempj as well as in the general arrangement
of the matters. The work of Stefani is generally written in a much better
Italian than that of Pacioli, who mixes bad Latin and bad Italian in the
most extraordinary way.

As it would take a volume to give a complete idea of this work of

THE LIBEI LIBEAEY. 73

Stefani, which, amongst other things, contain several questions respecting
the theory of numbers, we must content ourselves, Avithout entering into
details, generally to state that very probably the work wliich we now
describe contains large extracts, not from the Summa printed in 1494,
never quoted by Stefani, but from other works of Pacioli on tlie same sub-
ject, which have remained unpublished, and are now lost, an account of which
however he has given in his Summa (f. 67 of the 1494 edition). The first is
that which he sent in 1470 to liis pupils, the brothers Ropiansi ; the second
that which he dedicated to the " Giovani di Perugia in 1476," and another,
he Avrote at Zara in 1481. If we were asked to give an opinion on the
subject, we should perhaps feel inclined to suppose that Stefani has bor-
rowed what he took from Pacioli, from the work wi-itten in 1476, which
Pacioli himself says, was not so full as the subsequent works (" nel quale
non con tanta copiosita se tratto"). No doubt Pacioli embodied much of
his former " quattro volumi" in his Summa, but in all probability it is
only in this Manuscript of Stefani that we shall ever find extracts from
the previous unpublished works, which were most probably neglected after
the issue of the great Summa.

EXTREMELY RAKE, vellum Ho. NorimbergcB, 1544

With the autograph signature and numerous Manuscript notes of the celebrated
arithmetician and philosopher Peter Ramus, massacred on the Feast of
Saint Bartholomeio . This celebrated work is generally believed to be the
first in which the si;j,ns -j-, — , appear for plus and minus, of which he claims
to be the inventor. It is divided into three books ; the first containing a
complete and ample Treatise on Arithmetic ; the second an Exposition of
the tenth Book of Euclid's Elements, and the third a Treatise on Algebra,
of which he could not have been the introducer (as sometimes stated) mto
Germany, for he gives rules from C. Rudolph and Adam Riese (Latinized
into Gigas). A MS. note states that it was the first book that gave the
notion and use of logarithms, and he certainly seems to be the earliest
author who introduced the numeral exponents of the powers — 3, — 2,
— 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, &c., both positive and negative as far as integers.

594 Arithmetic. Stifel (Michael) Deutsche Arithmetica inhaltend die

This German edition of Stifel seems to have escaped the notice of Professor
De Morgan, who mentions only the Latin original. Stifel uses the sign +
for addition, and — for substraction, and distinctly states that whenever
you see -\- you may read Und ocler Mer {Et vel plus) and where you
see — Weniger ocler minder (paucius vel minus). He also distinctly claims
these signs as his own invention, " Darumb so gedenck nur uicht, das dise
ding schwer seyen zu lernen, oder zubehalten, und ist doch die gantz sach
DiSER MEINER ZEICHEN hiemit gantz auszgericht unnd an tag gebracht."
He gives 34 Coss Examples from Adam Riese, and from Christopher Rudolff
the eight Rules of Coss. For his other invented signs see reverse of
folio 61.

This early and now almost undiscoverable arithmetic was formerly very
popular in Holland, and the editions nearly as numerous as Cocker's in
England. The dedication is dated 20 July, 1589. Neither the author
nor his work seem to have been known to Professor De Morgan.

603 Arithmetic. "Wieekeei (Nigelli) BEUiTEiiLiTs Vigelli site Spe-

culum Stultorum et Yetula Ovidii (Leonis Protonotarii?), cura
S. Closii, ^j?ff/es, autograph signature and notes of P. Bur man
very rare, vellum Svo. Wolferhyti, 1662

The Brunellus of Nigel Wireker, a monk of Canterbury, in the reign of
Richard I, is a poem of considerable hmnoui'. Eoger Bacon and Chaucer
were both admirers of the Brunellus, and have quoted it. The Pseudo-
Ovidii Vetula is a most extraordinary work, wi'itteu (as is supjjosed) by
Leo Protonotarius, during the Xlllth Century. This poem is so free and
so full of indecencies as to preclude quotations. But, curiously enough,
it contains much scientific and mathematical information, chiefly respect-
ing what has been more recently called De Partitione numerormn, applied
to the game of dice, and almost bordering on the calculus of probabilities.
This poem contains also descriptions of Ludus Scaccorum and Lucius
Rythmimachioe, and at the end of the liher primus we find the follow-
ing lines —

" quid illo
*' Pulchrius esse potest exercitio numerorum ?
" Quo di\iiiantur numeri plerique per imiun.
" Iguoti notimi, sicut ludunt apud Indos
" Ludum diccntes Algebrte Almuegi-abalseque ?
" Inter aritlnneticos ludos pulcherrimmn hie est
" Ludus arithmeticse praxis; descriptio cujus
" Plus caperet, quam sufficiat totus liber iste."

As this poem De Vetula was first printed about 1470, it foUows that it was
m this (in some parts) obscene work that the notion and name of Algebra
first appeared in print. This work is so scarce, and so little known, that
even Professor De Morgan, when he published his Arithmetical Books,
seems not to have been aware of its existence. The volume contains several
plates, with arhhmetical figures, and at the beginning a large folding plate,
slightly mended on the margin, containing the figm'es of Vetula and
Brimellus.

Although mentioned by Lalande it is evident he could never have seen a copy
of the book, for lie makes the Opusculum Repertorii and the Hippoci'ates
two distinct publications.

Excessively rare, if not unique. Mazzuchelli was unable to trace any other
work of tliis author than a " Tractato delle Cometc," existing in manu-
script in the Saibanti Library in Italy. The fine woodcuts exhibiting the
author in his study with his book and astronomical instruments are very
curious.

This EXTREMELY RARE book was entirely unknown to M. Brunet, and other
bibliogi-aphers. It contains the first icorh on astronomy 2yid>lished in French,
and is beautifully printed in a large Gothic type, with numerous woodcuts
and beautiful diagrams a la maniere noire, with xylographic inscriptions.
The work differs from the Thcorica Planetarvm of Purbach, and very pro-
bably was compiled from various Latiu sources. At the beginnino- there
is a French poem (a rondeau or ballad), and at the end there are two small
treatises by Ptolemy, " sm- les ArmUles et le meteoroscope." In a MS.
note at the commencement, it is stated that this copy (the only one kno-u-n)

2 vol. in 1
riEST EDiTioisr, VERT EARE, hut sUglitly stained, very large copy,
toith rough leaves 4:to. Brixioe, I. Britannicus, 1497

These singular sermons are much sought after by collectors, not only for their
excessive rarity, but also for the quaint, humorous and even burlesque
language employed by the preacher on the most serious subjects.
D. Clement has minutely described this edition in his " Bibliotheque
curieuse." Many of Barletta's expressions will raise a smile, and some even
excite disgust, but in those days things were called by theu* vulgar names
without exciting ridicule, and the naked legs of tables required not the
prudish drapery advocated by the modern Yankee lady to prevent the
intrusion of indecent thoughts. This preacher by his contemporaries was
indeed so much admired that it passed into a proverb, "nescit predicare qui
nescit barlettare." A fact worth noting is that in these Sermons not only
is Dante frequently quoted, but also the Accrha of that Cecco d'Ascoli, who
was burnt at Florence, in the XlVth Century, as a heretic. This work
is cited to form part of the Bibliografia Dantesca, by Colomb de Batines.

These familiar letters by the celebrated author of the infamous " Hermaphro-

but nevertheless highly amusing, see particularly that adtlressed " Alvissio

to Poggio, excusing his lasci'saous verses on the plea of similar ha%ang been
wi-itten by the ancients he mentions, adding that his were merely sports
of fancy, and as Poggio himself well knew not applicable to the -m-iter's
own conduct. He also justifies himself by the practice of a learned and
devout priest (Roberto Caracciolo ?), whom he himself avers to have heard
frequently use the basest of words to describe base acts. Weiss (article
Panormita, in Biogi-aphie universelle) calls this edition rarissime, and refers
to the Pmelli Catalogue for the Abbe MoreUi's description of it. That
learned bibUogi-apher emphatically says, "Inter libros summaj raritatis

Patavino Philosophi primi Paris) Circulus Pisanus de Veteri et

In this exceedmgly scarce work Berigardus (in French Beauregard), at the
same time an admirer of Aristotle, and a scoffer at the whole religion of
Italy, introduced (sometimes even with great praise) the discoveries of
Galileo and his followers. Men of great learning, namely, Giov. Targioni
and the learned editor of the " Saggi dell' Accademia del Cimento," pub-
lished in 1841, in a 4to. volume, at Florence, by order of the Grand Duke of
Tuscany (p. 29) have quoted Berigardus as having mentioned in this edition

THE LIBRI LIBEARY. 113

(published in 1643) not only the invention of the barometer, but also its
application to the mensuration of the height of the mountains. As the
celebrated Pascal constructed, in 1647, a barometer without making any
allusion to the previous discovery of Torricelli, made in 1643, the Italians
retahated by qiiotuig Beriguardiis as affording the proof, in this edition of
1643, of the barometer not being only uivented by Torricelli, but also of its
application to the determination of the height of the mountains being
known in Italy in 1643. Targioni (Notizie defjli agrjrandhaenti delle
scienze fisiche in Toscana, vol. I, jj. 207) quotes with the date of 1643
the passage in which Beriguardus {Circulus 7, p. 621) mentions such a
fact as follows : " Compertum enim est Aquam vel aliud Coi-pus liquidum,
tanto magis premi, quanto plus Aeris ipsi mcumbit, Demonstratur in Tubo
illo Vitreo, in cujus parte superiori Argentum Vi^'um videtur rehnquere
spatium vacuum, ut jam dictum est nam in alta Turri, ubi minus est
Aeris, incmnbentis stagnanti Hydi'argyro in quo est tubus, plus relinquitur
vacui, quam ad basin Turris, vel montis, ubi altior Aer magis premit
Hydrargyrum, eumque compellit per tubiun paulo altius efferri, et sic
relinquere minus vacui. Nisi forte dicamus in summa Turri, plura
subtiliora corpuscula subire Vitreum, ea parte qua creditur relinqui vacuum
majus, ad basin vero Turris paucioi'a, atque ita citra compressionem res
explicetur." Now the truth is that whilst the sentence as quoted is
really to be founds page 621 of the edition of 1661, no such sentence is to
be found m the edition of 1643 of the Circulus Pisaiiu-s, and not even such
a page as 621 m that edition, which is divided into four small parts. The
two editions of the work being qiute diflerent in their contents as well as
in their divisions, it has been no easy task to find m the tu'st edition the
chapter in which the quotation ought to be found. At length we traced
the chapter or Circulus de Nutritione, at page 37 of the fourth part of the
first edition, but found that the whole of the passage alluded to and above
cited was wanting, and that in the second edition, it was interpolated
between the words " ut luculentius in meteoris declaratum est," and the
words " Missis igitur exemplis," etc. No doubt the extraordinary rarity
of this fii'st edition has been the cause of quoting from the reprint a
sentence which has been so often cited in the liistory of natural philo-
sophy, as printed in 1643, but which in reality was not published before
1661.

In the Bija Ganita are rules for the solution of mdeterminate problems and
various propositions, supposed to have been invented by Bachet de Meziriac,
Fermat, Euler, and La Grange, but evidently known long previously
to Oriental mathematicians. Sold for 40 francs in 1857. See Brunet
(edition of 1860.)

1035 Billy (Jacobi de) Nova Geometriso Clavis Algebra, numerous diagrams,

autograph of Isaac Dalby, the mathematician 4<to. Parisiis, 1643

A scarce work, unnoticed by Montucla and Chasles, containing much inquiry
respecting the theory of nimibers. As is well known we are indebted to
Billy for a large portion of the nmnerical inventions of Fermat, who com-
municated them by letter to him. This volume sold for 29 francs in 1857.

calf, "recherche et rare, vendu 4:9 francs en 1857 " (Brunet, edition

This mathematician, pronounced by M. Chasles " g^ometre d'un grand merite,"
was highly esteemed by Fermat and Bachet de Meziriac. All his wi-itings are
rare. This work contains many of the discoveries on the theory of num-
bers made by Fermat, who was in frequent communication with Billy. It
is a curious fact that Father Billy, without any mention of the name of
Fermat, gives here, as his own, the resolutions of some equations, which,
in the Diopliantus puljlished with Fermat's annotations m the same year,
he (Billy) acknowledges to have found m the letters of Fermat to himself.

The tirst great Pinelli library (totally different from the celebrated col-
lection described by the Abate Morelli and sold in London towards the
end of the last century) was singularly rich m precious manuscripts, and
its remains were bought by Cardinal Borromeo to be the ornament of the
great Ambrosian library at Milan. A portion of tliis ancient Pinelli
library was seized by pirates and thrown into the sea.

Original and scarce edition of an interesting book, replete with curious informa-
tion. At the begmning of the first part there is the first printed mention of
the microscope invented by Cxahleo. BoccaHni speaks also of telescopes,
&c. For the history of the disputed account of the invention of the micro-
scope tliis edition is a book oi'great importance. In vol. II, RagguagUo 90

3 vol. in 1, vellum Svo. Milano, 1615

contemporaries. The 40tli Ragguaglio of Centuria prima is relative to the

vellum Uo. Venet. 1617-18

In this celebrated work Boccalini treated poUtical and literary subjects with
so much freedom that he brought down upon his owa head much enmity. In
Century II, Rag. 3, he relates that Euclid, the mathematician, ha\ang by
a geometrical figure divulged the important secret, " that all the lines of
thoughts and actions in Princes tended to one common centre, namely, to
draw the money of their subjects into theu* own pockets," was beaten to
death with sand-bags. Singularly enough, such is said to have been the
fate of Boccahni himself for having exposed the designs of the Spaniards
upon Naples.

Rideri Artiura magistri 1528."

The four fly-leaves are extremely interesting, as they contain six copies of an
imknown Letter of Indulgence, gi'anted by Pope Alexander Vlth, in favour
of subscribers for the rebuilding of the Hospital of St. James of Compos-
tella and its two chapels, having a woodcut of the seal. This Letter of
indulgence is dated "Anno Dommi M.CCCCLXXXXVIII," and was
undoubtedly printed in London by Wynkyn de Woede, to enable the
treasurer, Alfunso de Losa, to fleece such of the credulous English as
would be glad, for the trifling sum of the 20th part of a ducat, to entitle a
defunct relative, male or female, to a participation in all the spu'itual
exercises performed in the said hospital or Chapels for the repose of the
dead.

The " Bradenburgische Halszgericht" is nothing more than a reprint,
with altered titlepage, of the famous and excessively rare " Bamberg-

in 1507, the source whence were taken the terrible " Carolinse," which
since 1533, under the semblance of laAv, have deprived throughout
Germany an almost innumerable number of men of their lives, honour, or
fortunes, without rendering a single rogue better, or advancing the interests
of morality one step.

Jialf vellum, fine large copy loitli rough leaves s. I. et a. sed circa 1480

A book of great rarity and curiosity, universally kno^\^l as the Fables of
Pilpay, a collection of tales written originally in Sanscrit by Vishnu-Sarma
under the title of' " Pantcha-Tantra." No collection of tales enjoys a
higher reputation in the East, translations having been made into almost
every one of its dialects, whilst in Europe its repiitation has been equally
great, and the innumerable versions into almost every language bear wit-
ness to its popularity. This Latin version was made from tlie Hebrew by
John of Capua (a baptised Jew), who tells us : " Hie est liber parabolarum
antiquorum sapientum Nationum Mundi, et vocatur liber kelile et dimme
et primus quidem in lingua fuerat indorum translatus. Inde in linguam
translatus persarum. Postea vero reduxerunt ilium arabes in linguam suam
ultimo ex inde ad linguam fuit redactus hebraicam. Nunc autem nostri
propositi est ipsum in linguam fundare latinam. Est autem liber delec-
tabilis, &c." This version from the Hebrew is the parent of nearly all the
translations into the languages of Europe. Sir \Ym. Jones was one of the
iirst to point out the name of the real author, and thus expressed his
admiration of his work : " The Fables of Vishnu-Sarman, whom we ridicu-
lously call Pilpay, are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient in the
world." The rarity of this edition is undeniable, and in proof we need
only add that the White Knight's copy sold for £21 19s. and Sir Mark
Sykes's for £31 10s. This is the edition described by Brunet (see Bidpai)
as having in the running title " Capitulum Secundum," &c,

With the autograph and manuscript notes of Calvin's friend, Nicolas
CoLLAnoN, one of the Genevan Pastors of the time and author of several
works, whose name will be found amongst those ministers (see printed list
on last leaf) wlio approved of the damnable doctrine inculcated in this
apology for a cold-blooded murder, which must ever be a lasting and gross
stain upon the Reformer's reputation. This CoUadon succeeded Calvin as
Professor of Theology, and had well nigh experienced the right of coercing
heretics by the sword in his own person ; for, having had the hardihood in
his sermons to censure the Sovereign Council of Geneva, he was deposed
and sent to the Consistory to be censured. To save his life he recanted,
but thought it better to retire to Lausanne, where he died as Professor of
the Belles Lettres.

The works of Caravaggio are very scarce. IMontucla, speaking of this

Ponderum, Sonorum aliarumque Rerum meDSurandarum— Item

ars magna sine de regulis Algebraicis — Item de Arithmetica et de

Aliza liegula (Algebraical logistical)

SCARCE folio. Basilece, 1570

A work celebrated in the history of mathematics. In the Ars magna (dated
1545) Cardanus quotes Leonardus Pisanus, Luca Pacioli, and says that
the resolution of cubic equations, a discovery by Scipio Ferro of Bologna,
having been again lost by his death, was rediscovered by Tartalia, when
disputing with Fiore, and discussed between him "multis precibus exora-
turn," and Cardan himself, who, with the help of Ferrari, was led to the
demonstration of it.

Amongst the nativities and biographies are those of Petrarch, Philelphus,
Charles V, Francis I, Luther, Erasmus, Cardanus, Codes, Due de Bourbon,
Henry VIII, Leo X, Savonarola, Joannes de Monteregio (Regiomoutanus),
Albert Durer, &c. For an account of these "very curious" horoscopes,
see Morley's Life of Cardan, vol. II. p. 279.

Mo. Noriiixbergce, 1547

A very curious work, containing horoscopes and interesting biographies of
100 eminent men, including Albert Durer, Jerome Savonarola, Leo X,
Henry VIII, Erasmus, Luther, &c. Amongst those of mathematicians will
be found nativities and biographies of Gab. de Aratoribus, J. Monteregius,
L. Ferrari, G. Purbach, C. Agrippa, Fatius Cardanus, and of the author
himself. This edition is much enlarged from the previous one. It is in
this work that is to be found the mention of the terrible executions made
during the reign of Henry VIII.

1478 Cardani (II.) in CI. Ptolema-i Quadripartitam Constructiouem Com-,

mentaria cum Textu Latino et Geniturarum Exempla (XII)
BARE, j^rs^ edition, half vellum folio. Basilece, 1554

Dedicated to John Hamilton, Archbishop of St. Andrews (hung at Sterling
in 1571) for wliom he appears to have drawn his horoscope, as it is given
among the "Geniturarum Exempla," where also will be found that of
Edward VI, and that of Sir John Chcke. Bishop liurnet records under
the year 1552, in his History of the Reformation, that Cardan told Arch-
bishop Hamilton that, although lie had cured his disease (the dropsy), his
fate would be the gallows. In his horoscope, liowever, there is nothing to
indicate such an end to the Archbishop, unless Passio Cordis can be
twisted into " Sufl'ering by the Cord." See Morley's Life of Cardan,
vol. II, pp. 129-30, and also vol. II, p. 90, where Mr. Morley, speaking of
these Commentaries erroneously, says, " They were lirst printed (by a
French printer), with the addition of twelve illustrative Horoscopes, in
1555." This copy has valuable MS. notes.

This Casati, a Jesuit, is celebrated for having prevailed on Queen Christina
of Sweden to turn Eoman-Catholic. His work, in which several methods
are explained in order to ascertain the true dimensions and weight of the
whole earth, is full of curious experiments. For instance, from experiment
the weight of the water, which was previously supposed to be 400 times
that of the air, is here stated by Casati to be 1200 times. As a curious
fact may be noted that the work is under the form of a dialogue between
Galileo, Guldin, and Mersenne, the whole of them bemg much praised by
Casati.

Sponge offered to him Avhen crucified, a portion of the Marriage Table at
Cana, a portion of the Milk and Bed of the Blessed Virgin, bones and gar-
ments of Saints, &c. &c. By these " Statuti " it appears that bail was to
be taken, no matter what the crimes, most of which might be compounded
by paying a fine ; that ten years gave a legal title ; that barbers were allowed
to go out by night with lanterns to shave their customers; that no prosti-
tutes were to reside witliin the town ; that the women were subject to

extremely rare, vellum folio. Bologna, 1613

" The rule for the Square Root," says Professor De ^lorgan, " is exhibited in
the modern Form and Cataldi shows himseU'a most intrepid calculator. But
the greatest novelty of the book is the introduction of contLuued fractions,
then, it seems, for the first time presented to the world, &c." In his work,
Cataldi has employed also " Serie infinite coi loro limiti." In this same volume
are bound up four other works by Cataldi, all of which are scarce, viz. — I.
Trattato della Quadratura del Qqi-c\\iq, Bologna, 1612; II. Trattato dell'
Algebra Proportionale, ivi, 1610; III. Kegola della Quantita o Cosa di
Cosa, ivi, 1618; IV. Elementi delle Quantita Algebratiche, ivi, 1620. As
is well known, the invention of continued fractions has always been
ascribed to Lord Brouncker, the fii'st president of the Royal Society,
although they were knowTi not only in 1631 by Albei't Girard, as has been
recently ascertained by a celebrated geometrician (Baron Plana), but also
almost twenty years previously by the Italian mathematician Cataldi. The
algebraical works of the same Author, contained in this volume, contain
the solution of many cm-ious indeterminate problems.

1539 Cataldi (P. A.) Algebra discorsiva numerale, et lineale. Regola della

Quantita, 2 vol. (4 parts) in 1 folio. Bologna, 1618

In the first work, which is a treatise on Algebra, the Author explains equa-
tions of the second and third degrees, and also some derivative equations.
The signs used by Cataldi are curious, for he expresses the figures
1, 2, 3, 4, (fee. of the "puissances" by their exponents, but crossed tlu-ough
(barre). The second treatise gives solutions of numerous Problemi
indeterminati, and the determination (by approximation) of the value of the
sides of equilateral Heptagons, Octagons, and Nonagons. In this scarce
work, Cataldi has, before Descartes, constructed generally the equation of
the second order.

1540 Cataldi (P. A.) Nuova Algebra Proportionale folio. Bologna, 1619

In this work Cataldi finds the Cube Root of many Binomials, which his
predecessors had stated could not be foimd, and illustrates the works of
Vieta.

Cataldi, Bologna, 1620 — Trattato della Quadratura del Cerchio, ai
P. A. Cataldi, ivi, 1612 — Trattato Geometrico del medesimo, ivi,

Aggionta, Libro d'Albaco e Greometria, con il Prattico e vero
Modo di misurar la Terra, vellum 4ito. Venetia, 1559

Although Professor De Morgan mentions Cataneo in the Index to his List of
Arithmetical Books, he evidently never came across a coj^y of this inte-
resting work, as he does not detail its title-page. It commences A^dth " Delle
Parti della Arithmetica et della Diffinitione del Numero," and proceeds
through the principal rules. This copy has the autograph signature of
Andrea Issautieri and his MS. corrections. The work is valuable, and it
contains some algebraic matter and a problem (tre niariti gelosi con le lor
mogli per passare un fiume, etc.) which is the original of the celebrated
problem of the Fox, Goose, and the Barley. Leonardo Pisano is quoted at
the very beginning by the author of this Abbaco, who designates as Indian
the nmiierical figures commonly termed Arabic.

an Itahan translation word by word, as follows : " Dum ego Cato, concio sia

either by Brunet or Hain.

" Edition inconnue mais qui doit etre de la fin du quinzieme Siecle," says M.
Brunet, who has been misled by the Boutourlin Catalogue, for, as the work
is dedicated " ad Peti'um Sodei'inium urbis Florentinse perpetuum Vexilli-
ferum," and as Soderini held that high office from 1502 to 1612, this book
must have been printed at the beginning of the XVIth Century. The
printer's device (a tower ^vith lUy-headed wands saltier-wise, having his
initials A. I.) is on the last leaf.

First and veiy rare edition of a ciu-ious Avork, dedicated to Anne, Queen of
Great Britain (wife of James I), by the celebrated eugineer S. de Caus,
wlio had formerly instructed her son Henry Prince of Wales, in mechanics.
This dedication "is dated Heidelberg, 15 Sept. 1614, and Fetis justly ob-
serves that he thinks Trost in error when he says the work was first
printed at Heidelberg in 1614.

A work which is celebrated in the history of the steam engine. The third
book, which treats of the construction of organs, is remarkable for the age
in which it was wi-itten. Among the plates are those for making hydraidic
oi'gans, the notes of the madrigal by A. Strigio, " Che sera fed al Cielo," as

et alcuni loro mirabili effetti intorno al Lume, Caldo, Freddo,
Suono, e Moto ancora, plates, vellum 4<to. Bologna, 1632

This was the first work published by tliis eminent mathematician, a disciple
of Galileo. In this volume Cavalieri, to the gi"eat annoyance of Galileo,
published for the first time the discoveries of that great philosopher on the
fall of bodies. Cavalieri suggests in this work the construction of a sort
of telescope by reflection. In the XXXIst chapter of this work he explains
the reflexion of cold radiations, and speaks of the reflexion of smell.

This is the genuine first edition of this curious and amusing Auto-Biography,
and is dedicated to the Earl of Burlington. Copies on large paper are of
considerable rarity. A miserable counterfeit by Bartolini at Florence, in
1792, is easily distinguished from this the original by having the sixth line
of title-page ending with toccano, mstead of ajjparte, which is can-ied over
to the seventh.

This work which owing to its connection with the history of oil painting,
has often been quoted as in manuscript, is here published for the first
time. It was written by Cennini in the year 1437, whilst confined in gaol
(nelle Stinche di Firenze), and amongst numberless curious things which
may be gathered from it, Ave find (p. 161) described as a fact that at that
day real artists were called in (like as at present barbers or coiffeurs) and
employed to jJamt the faces of young ladies when going to parties.

This is the author's grand work on the proportion of the diameter of the
circle to its circumference, a labour of calcidation he seems to have piu--
sued with great patience, as he pushed his discoveries to thirty-five
decimals, of which he was so proud that it is engraved on his tombstone.
Appended to this work is his " Interest-Rekeninghe," with Interest Tables.
Although Professor De Morgan inserts Ceuien's name in his Index of
AVriters on Arithmetic, he gives no title of his book or date, a clear
evidence of the great rarity of this volume.

4:to. Lngd. Batav. 1G19

Tliis is the second edition of Van Ceuien's works (on Algebra and Geometry)
and contains the treatise " de Circulo," &c. which was not in the first.
The importance of the labours of this eminent mathematician, the calcfilator
of the value of circumference to such an amazing approximation as to
reduce it to thirty-five decunals, may be seen in Chasles. Tliis discovery
was engraved on his tombstone, in the chm-ch of St. Peter at Leyden, and
is intended to be represented beneath liis portrait on the title, although

1816 CoLrcci (G.) delle Antichita Picexe, 31 vol. 30 vol. hoards and

the last half hound small folio. i^<?r;«o, 1786-9G

This large and important work, which forms an indispensable supplement
to Muratori's collection, contains an immense nnmber of local chronicles,
ancient diplomata, inscriptions, biographies, etc. etc. illusti-ating the
ancient and modern political, ecclesiastical, scientific and litei-ary history
of that portion of the Papal States which is situated on the coasts of tlie
Adriatic. The work is very scarce and almost unkno^^^l, in consequence
of the lunited number of copies which were printed, at his own expense,
by the author (a pi'ivate gentleman and a canon), at a private press, erected
by himself for the special purpose of illustrating the glories and history
of his native land. The volumes, published at difterent times and con-
sisting of several parts (with different paginations) may be divided into 60
or 80 volumes as well as into 31, and the difficulty of finding the work
complete so as to give a particular account of the contents, or even of
collating it, was probably one of the principal reasons why, by all biblio-
graphers (even by Brunet himself, who probably never was able to see it)
this immense collection has been barely noticed, and erroneout^ly described,
without entering into any particulars. Tliis is in every respect a good
copy, in which the plates are Ijound together in two parts, and is pre-
sumed to be quite perfect, but owing to the difficulty of ascertaining the
fact, it will be sold not subject to collation.

1841 Comets. Thurecehsis {sic pro Thuricensis) Phisici Tractatus de Cometis,

exteemely eaee, fine copy ; from tlie Kloss Collection

4to. Anno Domini, MCCCCLXXiiir, Mans Aurl
As the work of Arzel on Comets, wliich solely on the authority of Beughera
was quoted by Lalande as being printed in 1472, is omitted by Hain,
in all probability, therefore, such an edition is suppositious ; and as the
date of 1472, which is at the end of a medical work on Comets by
Angelus Cato, is supposed to have been the date of the composition of
the work and not that of its publication, the present Treatise of Thurecehsis

. may be considered as the first ivorh ever i^rlnted on Comets. In the Kloss
Catalogue an edition of Thurecehsis of Beron;i3 (Miinster in Ergau) 1473,
is mentioned, but that was evidently a mistake, as, according to Hain,
the said Berona edition is printed without place, date, or name of printer,
although most probably from the press of Helyas de Louffen, a Canon
of Miinster in Ergau. This, therefore, may be regarded as the first
volume on Comets, with a positive date, ever printed.

This was probably tlie copy presented to Pope Jidius II himself. In the
present version, the edict is more prolix than in any other of the transla-
tions of this fraudulent document, as it contains the professed Confession
of Faith of the Emperor prefixed, Tvhich the other translators must have
purposely omitted, thinking probably the cheat would be too apparent.

correctly to fix the Equinoxes and Solstices, and also constructed the large

In this valuable work will be foimd the capital remark, which has gene-
rally been attributed to Tycho Brahe, concerning the diminution of the
obliquity of the ecliptic deduced from a comparison of the Observations of
the Ancients with those of more recent astronomers. For an account of
Danti and his wi'itings, which are all of considerable rarity, the curious may
consult M. Libri's Histoire des Sciences Mathe'matiques en Itahe, Vol. IV,
p. 37 and seqq. A copy sold for 27 francs at the Salle Silvestre in Paris,
in July, 1857.

2106 Danti (E.) Le Scienze Matematicbe ridotte in XLV Tavole

uncut folio. Bologna, 1577

This work, dedicated to " Jacopo Boncompagni Governatore Generale di
Santa Cliiesa," is not mentioned by Lalande, and is so rare that a very
inferior copy sold for 45 francs at the Salle Silvestre in Paris, in July
1857. It also seems to have escaped Brunet, but is described by M. Libri
in his " Histoire des Sciences Math^matiques en Italic " as " un espece
d'arhre encyclopedlque des mathdmatiques qui doit interesser ceux qui
s'occupent de la classification des sciences."

A poetical volume of considerable rarity, equally attractive to the Englisb
or American collector. The Epithalame (" Canto Nupcial y otro Matri-
monial") on the Marriage of PhUip II of Spain, with Mart Queen of
England, is in Spanish, a fact unknoAvn even to the bibliographers who
have cited the title of this curious and scarce work.

Gamba, and contains an additional voliune, " parte quinta volume primo,"
which is not m the previous ones.

Quoted by the Crusca. This is one of the Rari esemplari described by
Gamba as retaining the Letlera delV autore. In addition, tliis copy of a
book, so interesting for the history of England, contains also the ancient
frontispiece (with the date of 1637), which was cancelled, and is therefore
in all probability perfectly unique,

This Catalogue of the books sold by the Duke de la Valliere himself, in his
life-time, is quite different from the celebrated Catalogue of the La Val-

sought after in this edition, as in the subsequent the mteresting letters
attributed to Dante, Petrarch, &c. were suppressed. Boimd up at the end
of the second volume is another work of Doni entitled " Le Ville," printed
at Bologna in 1566, and so scarce that it has been supposed and asserted
to be unpublished.

Original edition and of extraordinary rarity, the copies having been printed

three volumes, equally important to the astronomer (although unhnowTi to
Lalande) the navigator, the geogi'apher, the student in natural philosophy,
and the linguist. A fact not generally known is that this work (as well
in this as in the subsequent edition) contains many vocabularies of various
American languages, some of them from the original notes taken by the
author himself whilst (as he states in liis work) he was travelling in America.

del Mare Libri sei, 2 vol. numerous plates (including volvelles)

calf royal folio. Fiorenza, 1661

This excessively rare woi^k is remarkable for its many valuable projects for
the improvement of navigation and ship-building. Amongst the " Portulani"
are those of Abraham Kendal and John Diez for the Coasts of America
and the West Indies. The author was the son of the fiimous Sir Robert
Dudley, Earl of Leicester, by the Lady Douglas Sheffield, whom he had
secretly married and afterwards compelled to silence respecting the cere-
mony, even forcing her to espouse Sir Edward Stafford, when he hunself
was desirous of uniting himself to the Countess of Essex. On several
occasions, however, the Earl of Leicester acknowledged his son as legiti-
mate, and left him the bulk of his'property, which he enjoyed in spite of the
opposition of the Dowager Countess of Leicester. Having been defeated
by that lady in his attempt to obtain his father's titles, he in disgust quitted
England. In 1G20, when created by the Pope a Duke of the Roman
Empire, he assumed tlie title of Duke of Northimiljerland and Earl of
Warwick, residing at Florence, where he was made Graiul Chamberlain to

naval architecture and gimnery. The fruits of his studies were commu-
nicated to the public in this now excessively rare work. This copy
belonged to the famous Sir Joptn Narbrough, so remarkable for his
" Voyages and Discoveries to the South and North, &c." His autograph,
" John Narbrough his booke 1680," is on the back of the first titlepage,
and is repeated at the bottom of page 1.

given immediately after the ending of Terrorism in France, on mathematics
(includmg aritlmietic) by Lagrange and Laplace ; on natural history by
Daubenton ; and on other branches of learning by Monge, Haiiy, Berthollet,
Sicard, etc. The amalgamation of high science with the republican language
of men who a few years afterwards became the most obsequious flatterers
of emperors, kings, and even subjects, is exceedingly curious ; for instance,
Daubenton, speaking in his second lecture of the Lion, which had been
called " Le roi des animaux," energetically says, " II n' y a point de rois
dans la nature," and the whole assembly bursts into cries of admiration and
" attendrissement." The Debats, m Avhich periodically pupils (Aleves like
Fourier, Lacroix, and others) asked for explanations from the professors, are
exceedingly interesting.

4ito. FrancAfort, 1595

This is a reprint of one of the most popular German works of the
XVth Century, the production of ]Sicholas Pfaldorf of Ingoldstadt, whose
connection ^vith it was accidentally discovered only in 1859, when the
original Manuscript was sold in the collection of M. Libri. It is a strange
production, full of the most extraordinary tales of Human Inhabitants of
the Globe, with Heads of Dogs or other Animals, Hermaphrodites, Cyclops,
Nations who never eat, Races of People born without Noses, Eyes, Ears,
or some other part of the Body, Giants, Pigmies, Centaurs, &c. &c. The
author praises the English as a pious and handsome race, but although
good marksmen, tmiorous, having beautiful women. The Scotch he describes
as irascible, revengeful, superstitious, worthless, and self-conceited, but
^yrohably able to bear hunger. Ireland is described as a Paradise with a
barbarous, rude, and cruel race for Inhabitants. The Bauren Compassz is
a method to know the hour of the day by hoklmg up the left hand to the
sun, and is illustrated with woodcuts. This very rare and cm*ious work
was unknown to Lalande.

A very interesting and scarce work. Father Eschinardi, a Jesuit, was a true

the fluido planetario, on the use of the magnetic needle for foretelling by its
sudden alterations earthquakes, &c. &c. Eschinardi, as early as 1G70,
suggested plunging thermometers in ice to render them comparahili. See

fine copy, with the blanh leaf at end

folio. Venetiis, per Paganinum de Paganinis, 1509

This is perhaps the scarcest of all the editions of Euclid as is but too well
known to mathematicians, who covet its possession. The version attri-
buted to Campanus, but now known to have been made by Adelaed of
Bath, appears here to great advantage, owing to the important emenda-
tions and explanations of the celebrated Luca Pacioli di Biu'go, the author
of the " Somnia de Arithmctica," &c. Pacioli was the intimate friend of
Leonardo da Vinci, at whose instigation he appears to have published this
work as is apparent from the dedicatory letter of the editor himself to
Francesco Sodcrini, Cardinal of Volterra, to whom, as well for his own
favour as for the patronage of the great Florentine Family of which the
Prelate was a member, he gratefully renders acknowledgment. From
another letter, written by Daniel Caietan, Pacioli seems to have been
famous as a preacher as well as a mathematician.

This work is dedicated to the Duke of Urbmo by V. Spacciuoli, the son-in-
law of Commandino, then recently deceased. It was translated into Italian
from Commandino's Latin Version by that mathematician's pupils under
his own superintendence. The Prolegomeni, or historical Introduction,
and the Notes, are very important. Commandino applies algebra to
geometry -vs-ith useful notations, amongst which we find not only the use
of separate letters to express imknown quantities, but also the use of these
same letters multiplied by other letters, without any mterposition, as mathe-
maticians now use them.

This work, designed as a supplement to Muratori's Annali d' Italia seems to
have been unknown to Moreni and Coleti. The remarks on Henry VIII,
Anna BuUen, and the Pope, one would not have expected in a work
written by an Abbate. Int^tead of a History of Florence it ought to have
been entitled a general History of Europe, as it details occurrences in all
countries, including England.

One of the scarcest of botanical tracts, and justly termed by Moreni " raris-

simo." The Bizzarria appears to be an extraordinary kind of fruit,

originally produced at Florence by the freaks of Nature, a sort of ajiple in

appearance, one half of which is a lemon and the other half an orange.

a new edition. This work contains the lives of numerous Florentine

mathematicians.

2899 Fracastorii (H.) Syphilis sive Morbus G-allicus

riBST EDITION, rare, having the four blank leaves at end, lohich are
usually cut out 4<to. Veronce, 1530

The numerous editions of this poem, written Tvith exquisite taste and versifi-
cation, attest its merits, and have rendered Fracastoro's name immortal.
In spite of its frightful name there is nothing immoral in the composi-
tion, Avi-itten to celebrate the discoveries of Mercury and Guiacum as cures,
the process of which is described in a very charming fiction. The name
of the unfortunate Hero of his second Episode is the amiable Syphilis, from
whoni is derived the title of the poem, and of which the celebrity has
furnished a name for the complaint itself. Francastoro rejects the vulgar
notion of the disease coming to Europe from America, and asserts that it
was not unknown to the ancients. The spread of it as a plague he ascribes
to the French during their wars in Italv.

It is well known that to this celebrated author the invention of the telescope
was attributed, and that he considered tlie general attraction and repul-
sion as the cause of all the natural phenomena. Fracastorius was one of
the first (if not the very first) of authors who knew the true origin of fossils.

First edition of this rare Iwok, in the first part of which Fracastorius attempts
to explain the planetary system by homocentric movements. Although,
owing to the instruments not having been invented to make the necessary
observations, his method could not be successful, he may, however, lay
claim to having suggested the invention of the telescojje, as he seems
to have been the first to lay two pair of spectacles one over the other in
order to observe the stars.

This work was -wTitten by a warm partisan of the Reformers, who dared not
prmt his name lest he should become subject to the pains and penalties
due to the author of so violent an attack on the House of Guise and the
Papacy of Eome. It has been attributed to Louis Regnier Sieur de la
Planche, but as the author sneers (see p. 404) at Regnier for being " plus
politique que religieux," it is not likely that he would have written thus
of himself. The Cahdnist, Jean de Serres, who wrote the Commentarii
de Statu Religionis is much more Ukely to have written this book also.

At the beginning of the first volume of these interestuig historical dociiments

An excessively curious and rare Poem, or rather " Comedietta," in which
the Bad Son is supposed to be converted by witnessing the " Rappresen-
tatione di Agar" (a mysteiy). It is written in pure Florentine language,
and from the circumstance of the woodcut bearing the Medici arms was
probably printed at Florence in the early part of the XVIth Century.
Neither AUacci nor Brunet mention this rare work, which has apparently
escaped the notice of all bibliographers.

The first book has numerous interesting Manuscript notes on the margin in a
cotemporary hand by a ^\Titer who shows himself to be at the same time
a clever astronomer and an opponent to Galileo. Very probably these an-
notations were wTitten by one of those Jesuit astronomers of the Collegio
Romano, who gave so much trouble to the Tuscan philosopher. They

332 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OE

contain many curious facts and remarks, the first of whicli (coming from an
opponent) is remarkable : " Incomincio le osservazioni (delle macchie
del Sole) il Galileo di settembre 1610." This in our opinion settles entirely
the question respecting the discovery of the spots of the sun.

fica di Lotario Sarsi Sigensano (cioe P. Orazio Grassi), engraved
title and cuts, fine copy, vellum 4to. Jioma, 1623

Original edition of a celebrated work. It is well known that this impression
having been printed at Rome while the author was in Florence, was
disfigured by numerous misprints, which gave great annoyance to Galileo,
who, besides the several errata corricje printed successively at the end, has
added ia some copies other corrections in his o^vn handwi-iting. The present
is one of those exceedingly scarce copies, and contains at the end of the
second errata four lines in the autograph of the immortal author.

From Count Boutourlin's library, and formerly in that of Niccolo Arrighetti,
a good mathematician, and a pupil of Galileo. Arrighetti's autograph
signature is on titlepage, and he has also written several annotations on the
margins.

3000 Galilei (G.) Dialogo sopra i due massimi Sistemi del Mondo Tolemaico,

scarce, calf, onarhled edges Svo. in one vol.

Mersenne was the first to render Galilei's fame known in France by this
ti-anslation of a work (which only appeared m Italian after the death of its
author, Galileo) to which he has annexed important notes. In the Questions,
Mersenne treats of the velocity and distance of Shots, the Longitude, the
Quadrature of the Cu'cle, the Spots in the Sun, &c. &c. &c. The Question
XLV is, " Est il pcrmis d'enseigner dans les Escoles que la Terre est
immobile," to which Mersenne has appended the " Sentence contre
Galilde, &c." See also " Mersenne " in the present Catalogue.

bodies, which are so highly praised by Lagrange.

3005 Galilei (G.) Nouvelles Peusees, cuts, Paris, 1639— L'Usage du

Quadran, ih. 1639 Sro. in one vol.

The " Nouvelles Peusees," which contain many (then) unpublished discoveries
of Galileo, seem undoubtedly to have been written by Mersenne, who in
1634 had already published the " IMechaniques de Galilee." The work is
very interesting, as it contains curious additions to the "Pensees" of
Galileo, and seems to be almost unknown .

3006 Galilei (G.) Trattato della Sfera con le Praticlie di B. Savi, plates

vellum 12mo. lioma, 1656

This rare little volume was unknown to Lalande. In it the immobility of
the earth is asserted, and there can be little doubt that the work is a
forgery. (See Catalogue of M. Libri's Manuscripts, No. 399.)

A bibliogi-aphical account of the writings of illustrious authors, who, during
the years 1630 to 1632 inclusive, were at Rome, including Galileo, Fed.
Cesi and the L>-ncei, Castelli, Campanella, &c. What gives more interest
to this work is a list of the published and unpublished works of all the
celebrated men whom he mentions, several of which are since lost, never
having appeared in tj'pe.

his bitter enemy.

This scarce work, by Beatus, the Jesuit Mathematical Professor at Rome, is

not mentioned by Lalande. The author seems well disposed towards the

Copernican system, but cannot maintain it against the Chmxh of Rome.

TERY RARE, Calf (/Ut Small 4:to. Brcssa per Jacoho Britanico, 1561
A most curious and interesting work, first published (at Venice) in 1553, as
the author himself tells us at the end of this volume. Mazzuchelli says
only that " Bellaso (nobile Bresciano) studio le scienze ma non contemplo
che le cose piii maravigliose." As a proof of that assertion at the end of
this work on crN-ptogi-aphy we find seven propositions, the explanation or
demonstration of which are contamed in seven paragi-aphs printed in cifra,
witha notice at the beginning stating that if these cifve are not explained
within a year from the time of the publication, he (Bellaso) will readily
communicate his secret to any person requesting him to do so. Now

33G THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF

amongst those propositions we find the demonstration ^of the impossibility
of the quadratura del circolo, and the " Eagione perche lassando cadere da
aho a basso due palle, una di ferro e V ahra di legno, cosi presto cada in
terra quella di legno come quella di ferro."

It is wonderful to find in an almost unknown book (which nobody, not
even Mazzuchelli, seems to have perused) published first in 1553, and
reprinted in the very year in which Galileo was born, one of the most
important discoveries of Galileo, that on the fall of bodies, which was
only published by him during the XVIIth Century.

In honour of Ciampoli it should be stated that his constant defence of his
master Galilei was the real reason of his exile from Rome by Pope
Urban VIII, in whose eyes his attachment to the great philosopher was an
unpardonable crime. This work seems to have been unknown to Ginguen^,
who wrote Cianipoli's life for the Biographic Universelle.

applied to astronomical observations, and as the telescope was not yet
invented at that time, it shows that Occhiale (Spectacles) were used for
astronomical obsen^ations. See also on this point lot 2239 of the Cata-

"Conjecturas Columbi (ex ventis) de novo muudo," etc. etc. Eschinardi
was the first to suggest (in 1670) immersing thermometers in ice in
order to have a correct graduation of them; and to make them comparable,
in the present work he discusses the important question " an iEqualibus

very important discoveries respecting the influence of colours on the

radiating power of heat, and curious experiments to determine the different

It seems wonderful that so celebrated a geometrician as Cavalieri should
have put faith in astrology, and still more astonishing that any work on

Guiducci's work by Weidler is attributed to Galilei himself. The Libra, by

Father Sarsi (Grassi), and the Disjmtatio, were the causes of the great

struggle between Galileo and the Jesuits. They are both very rare.

A most able restitution of the lost Fifth Book of the Conic Sections of
Apollouius Pergseus, made previously to the discovery by Borelli of its
existence in an Arabic Version. When the Latin Version of that discovery
was pubhshed, and Geometricians Were able to compare the two works,
Viviani's reputation became immense, as it was rendered clear that not only
had he divined what Apollonius wrote, but had gone much deeper into
the subject. This is the rarest of Viviani's works, and is justly described
by Weiss as " tees-rare."

The author was the brother of the famous Dr. Thomas White, and he was
himself a celebrated mathematician. In the preface White says, that being
as a Catholic precluded in England from attending a public school, he went
to Florence, where Galileo was then adorned with immense glory, and that
lie became a pupil of Castelli. From the above statement and eulogium,
printed at Rome a few years only after Galileo's condemnation, we gather
that there was perhaps at that moment even less religious tolerance in
England than at Rome.

This rare anonymous Tract could never have been seen by Lalande, as he
gives the title correctly without any size, and immediately after again on
the same page incorrectly, evidently considering the two titles as distinct
works.

of the arguments.

invention of that instrument, and states that he constructed a telescope in
Italy before Galileo !

not only of Galileo but also of De Dominis and Maurolycus. In order to
measure the velocity of sound produced by thunder, he calculates the
distance, &c. by the number of the pulsations of the heart.

The author of this treatise was Hoi'ace Grassi, a Jesuit. Weidler, in his
History, speaks only of the work, without giving tlie true title ; it was
against this, that Galileo wrote his famous Saggiatore, printed in 1623.

tenebris mire conservante Liber, vellum 4:to. Utini 1640

Liceti was so disinchned to admit the new discoveries in Astronomy made by

Galileo, that in order not to adopt the explanation of what is called in

French La Iwmitre cendree de la lune, he was driven to presume that the moon

is an immense Bologna stone. Galileo wote agamst Liceti on this point.

3202 Galileo's Opponents. Liceti (F.) Litheospborus sive de Lapide

Bononiensi Liber, Jine portrait hy A. Salmincius

the sentence of the Inquisition against Galileo.

Termed by Lalande " a Treasure of Astronomical Learning," and to prove
his words he incessantly cites it in his Astronomie.

Eeformatae Libri XII, acts, half bound folio. Bononice, 1661

A work full of the most learned researches, and wonderful for its Table of
Latitudes and Longitudes, in which many corrections forestalled those
discoveries attributed to Dellsle by forty years. In many instances the
author points out the source of his information, as in his chapter " de
America Partibus et Authoribus de ilia lectu dignis."

3222 Galileo's Opponents. Eiccioli (J. B.) Chronologia Eeformata et

Lalande only mentions an edition of IGll. The author maintains against
Aristotle that Comets are produced in the heavens by the sim.

3228 Galileo's Opponents. Santucci (A.) Trattato nuovo delle Comete,

plates, uncut, rare, especially in this state 4ito. Morenza, 1611

The volume contains at the beginnmg, the signature of " J. Ph. Tomasini,"
author of " Petrarcha redivivus," and on the margins several critical
manuscript amiotations which undoubtedly seem to be in the " handwriting
of Galileo,'''' and certainly in his habitual sarcastic form. See, for
instance, at p. 19, his manuscript annotation " Cogl . . . na opinione."
The work was unknown to Nelli.

mirando Eacularum et Macularura suarum Phaenomeno varius,
numerous plates, rare, vellum folio. Bracciani, 1626-30

The author adopted this strange title of Eosa Ursina because he dedicated
his work to Prince Orsini, In it the author discourses learnedly on the
spots in the sun, of wliich he esteemed himself the discoverer, although
observed much earlier by Galileo. No doubt however to Scheiner we
are indebted for the fullest theory of their movements, and an analysis of
this scarce work will be found in Montucla " Histoire des Mathematiques,"
vol. II, p. 313.

After the discovery by Galileo of the satellites of Jupiter, which he called
" Aatri IMedicei" several sovereigns (and particularly those of

THE LIBEI LIBRAKY. 357

Frauce) requested hiin to find other new stars to be dedicated to them-
selves by givhig them respectively their uaine. In order to comply with
this request Jean Tarde, canon of Sarlat, took advantage of the " Spots of
the Sun," already discovered by Galileo, and, ti'ansforming them into new
planets, he dedicated them, under the name of " Astres de Borbon," to
the Royal family of France.

3235 Galileo's Opponents. Zuccliii (N.) Nova de Macliinis Pbilosophia,

tvoodcut diagrams 4ito. Eomce, 1649

An interesting and scarce work, in which the author considers magnetical
attraction as connecting " terram cum extreme coelo." Casati, who was an
opponent to Galileo, states that this work was much ajiproved by Torri-
celli, which is however doubtful, as Zucchi maintains the " positiva levitas,"
and is also an opponent to the motion of the earth, and to the vacuum in the
barometer.

3236 Galitzine (La Princesse Eudosie) de I'Analyse de la Force, 3 parts

in 1, plates, uncut 8ro. Paris, 1845

This most extraordinary scientific dreaming was privately prmted only for
the friends of the Princess, and is verj- scarce. The most curious feature
in regard to the work is, that, in answer to the application of the noble
authoress for its investigation, instead of being j^erhaps sent to a Russian
Bedlam she actually obtained an order of Government for two Generals and
a first-rate Geometrician (M. Ostrogi-adsky) to discuss the subject with
her. The Report of this Discussion fills the first part.

autograph inscription : " -I- 1590 a di 5 Maggio, In Venetia, II &•• Gio. Paolo

Quoted on the authority of Weidler, but never seen by Lalande. At the end
is inserted the " Canon Sexagenarius " and the extremely rare eight pages
in quarto entitled " de Harum Paginarum Usu," which almost generally
are deficient, probably owing to their having fallen out and thus been lost,
a natural consequence of the author's directions to the binder, " Hsec pars

3292 Geilerii Keiserspergii (J.) Sermones

Geyler was one of the most famous preachers of his time, and the bitter
opponent of the Dominicans of Strasburg, who from the pulpit are said to
have promulgated the infamous doctrine " Quod monialis professa si carnis
tentatione victa castitatem servare nollet minoris culpse esset si cum reli-
giose quam cum laico committat flagitium." The expressions used by this
celebrated preacher would in many instances wound the delicate ears of
the present race, and m others cause roars of laughter.

A very curious medley of erudition de Rebus omnibus et quibusdam aliis.
Each Canticle is divided into eight tones, learnedly descanting on God,
Christ, Man, the Scriptures, Ccelestial and Terrestrial Phsenomena, Good
and Bad Angels, the Doctrines of the seven wise blasters, the Operations
of Nature and Art, &c. &c. This first edition, which was prohibited, is
uncastrated, and contains the passages ordered to be expunged by the
Index. Mersenne, in his work on Genesis, has exposed some of the heretical
notions which Georgius derived from his attachment to Platonists and
Cabbalists.

A collection of early Chronicles and valuable Dissertations, throwing much
light on the history of the periods they nan-ate, not only of Germany, but
also of England, France, and other nations. One of the most curious is
the " Cosmodromium Gobeliui Pei'sonse," in which will be found as the
Apology for Potiphar's wife, that her husband " exsectus est propter
sacerdotium & Eunuchus est vocatus." In the " Chronica Oldenburgensium
Archi-Comitum," the invention of Printing is distinctly ascribed to Mayence
by the author John Schiphower, who was born in 1463. This copy
formerly belonged to the Grand-Count Solms, (who came to London with
William III) and has on titlepage his autograph signature, " Fredericus
Magnus Comes Solmensis."

372 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF

3383 Gibalini (J.) Disquisitiones CanonicsB de Clausiira Eegulari ex veteri

Fouqiiet's copy, with his ** and arms stamped in gold on back. The work
is important for rendering clear the manners and customs of monasteries.
An apostate is thus defined — "qui etiam recedit a Societate Jesu, in qua
emisit vota simplicia, verus Apostata est."

aggiunge la Sorellina di Don Pilone, Commedia dello stesso Autore
uncut 8yo. s. I. & a. {Lucca, 1711)

The Tartuffe of Moliere imitated to suit the Italian taste. The author and
nine of his private friends performed this piece at the Theatre of Siena, he
hmiself sustaining the principal character, which he dressed and acted in
exact imitation of a notorious hypocrite of the town, his friends personating
other well-known parties. The success was wonderful, and in spite of the
opposition of those ridiculed and their adherents, the applause was tre-
mendous. In the Sorellina the author ridicules hypocrisy in his own
abode.

3385 Grigli (&•) Del Collegio Petroniano delle Balie Latiue, col vero

Metodo degli Studii per la Grioveutu nel medesimo Collegio stabiliti,
with plates 4ito. Siena, 1719

A most curious and scarce book. Gigli, so well known for his eccentricity
and hizzarro umore, describes, in this work, an imaginary college, stated
by him to have been established at Siena, in order that nursemaids should
teach infants to speak Latin from their earliest childhood. By naming, as
patrons of the college, a great number of well-known gentlemen and ladies
he so well succeeded in gulling the public that, from several distant towns,
young children were actually sent to Siena to be admitted into his fictitious
establishment.

The work of Griglio is very curious, and, amongst other things, contains
" Origine del Mai Francese," the Opinions of the New World (America)
concerning the Origin of Man and the Deluge, on the Discovery of
America, with a statement of the Pilot Andaluzo dying in the house of
Columbus, &c. &c.

bus, et de magno Magnete Tellure, Physiologia nova, tcith tcood-
cuts,Jine copy, scarce folio. Lond. P. Short, 1600

After the address to the reader, is a parenesis by Edward Wright, in which
Drake, Candish, Linschoten, Hakluyt, and the Voyage to the Azores are
noticed. Dr. Gilbert was Physician to Queen Elizabeth, and so highly
esteemed by her that she allowed him an annual pension to pursue his
studies. This work is most valuable for the history of Science, and was
highly prized both by Galileo and Humboldt.

3388 Gilberti (G.) de Mundo nostro sublunari Philosopbia nova

vellum 4:fo. Aynst. L. Elzevir, 1651

Dr. Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth, was the author of the celebrated
work " de Magnete " above described. In the present work he maintains the
motion of the earth, and sets forth the ideas of Copernicus and Giordano
Bruno on the subject. According to Gilbert the motion of the moon is
principally due to the magnetieal action of the earth. The work is in-
scribed contra Aristotelem.

The second Dialogue on Errors of Painters is most interesting, and contains
many sensible remarks on " The Last Judgment " of Michael Augelo,

This work, containing much to interest the English and Norman collector,
was edited by Denis Sauvage, and contams his additions, bringing it down
to 1557. In some parts it may be considered as a romance of cliivalry, as
it contains the fabulous liistory of Charlemagne and his imaginary battles
against the Saracens.

4>to. Homa, Tinassi, 1668-79

A very important collection. This is the first Italian periodical on scientific and
literary matters ever published, and contams numerous original observations
and papers by Cassini, Borelli, Campani,Montanari,Hevelius,Gottignies, etc.
etc. not to be found elsewhere. Under the year 1670 we find the im-
portant discovery of Father Eschinardi, a Jesuit, who for the true gradu-
ation of the thermometer first suggested immersing it into ice.

3401 GiOENALi. Giornale de Letterati d' Italia, 43 vol. in 45, plates

vellum 12mo. Venezia, 1710-1740

A literary journal, edited by Apostolo Zeno and his brother, and therefore
justly held in great estimation. It contains many original works by the
most celebrated Italian scientific and literary men of the time, and
amongst others, the first discoveries made in the year 1717, by Fagnani,
on the Lemniscata, discoveries which at that moment attracted very little
notice in Italy, but which in consequence of the labours of Lagrange,
Euler, Gauss, Abel, Jacobi, etc. etc. have rendered the name of Fagnani
most conspicuous, although even now it is too generally supposed
that these discoveries (published in the present Giornale as early as
1717) appeared only in the Produzioni, which Fagnani published in
1750.

contributor affixed to each article. It was published under the direction
of Monsignor Fabroni the learned autlior of the Vitae Italorum, and con-
tains much literary and scientific information respecting Galileo and his
school. For instance, in the first volume we find a dissertation of the
celebrated astronomer Perelli, showing that " Galileo fosse il primo ad
applicare il pendolo all' orologio."

Grimaldi in this celebrated and scarce work gives an aceomit of his dis-
covery of the inflection of the solar rays near certain bodies. He was the

instantaneous (See prob. XIX) and that he considered the light as a sort
of undulatio.

Weiss in the Biographie Uuiverselle supposes it to be complete in four

butes the authorship of them to Francesco Antonio Grimaldi.

This -work, -which is weU known to collectors of ornamented bindings for the help
it furnishes for detecting (from their devices^ the ovmers of ancient books,
is even more interesting for the various historical and scientific facts recorded
therein, and not to be found elsewhere. For instance, the mention made
by the Emperor Charles V to the poet Alamaimi of the " Aquila Grit'agna
— Che per piu divorar due becclii porta." etc. In describing the Device of
Astorre Baglioni, Ruscelli mentions a (fossil) elephant found in Tuscany
during the XVIth Century. One of the most important scientific facts to
be found herein is that contained in the de^nce of Pope Clement VII,
Candor iUa-sus. which (after Gio^^o^ is explained by Ruscelli in the fol-
lowing very important sentence, respecting the intluence of colour on
radiating heat : •' Tal impresa fii inventione di Domenico Buoniusegni
Fiorentino, Tesorier del Papa. II qnal Domenico filosofando sopra le cose
della Xatura. sapeva, che i raggi del Sole passando per una paUa di Cristallo
si fortificano tahnente. et uniscono per la ragion della perspettiva, che
bruciano ogni oggetto, cioe ogni cosa atta ad acceudersi che da poi
toccano. fuor che le cose, che son bianchissime." This same work contains
other interesting observations, \\z. the varieties of combustion and tlames
derived from various bodies, even the burning of gaseous substances
&c. «S:c. Amongst the Devices is that of Sir Richard Shelley, Prior of
England.

In tliis new edition the two Ruscelli, who in theif work show an amotmt of
knowledge respecting natural philosophy quite extraordinary for the time,
add to the observations contained in the previous one. So. for instance, in
the libro quarto, speaking of the device of Andrea DeLfino. Vincenzo
shows in the plate, as weU as in the written description, the combustion
of the Diamond, long before the celebrated Florentine experience of the
subject.

The Divina Comedia of Dante, and the " Dialogo " of GaUleo, are amongst
the books forbidden by this Spanish Index, in which, as may be seen at
the beginning, the Index of Pope Alexander VII was inserted and reprinted
at Madrid, with the date of Rome. It has been several times stated that
the Dialogo of Galileo was not forbidden by the Spanish Index, but this
volume shows that this is not the case,

a 6 Aprile 1724 dal Tribunale del S. Uffizio di Sicilia, descritto
da Antonino Mongitore, ivith curious folding 'plates
vellum folio. Palermo, 1724

A volume of extraordinary rarity. Canon Mongitore seems to revel in
delight whilst expatiating on this Auto da Fe, which he appears to view as
a solemn duty paid to God, instead of regardmg it as a cruel act of bigotiy
and insane wickedness. A monk and a nun were burnt, whilst a crowd of
carriages filled with ladies attended to witness this cruel and disgusting
sight.

3802 Inquisition. Brunnemanni (J.) Tractatus duo de Processu turn

The author of this rare and important woik was Commissary-General of
the Inquisition at Rome, and Confessor to Pope Pius V, who in 1568
conferred on him the Bishoprick of Bagnarea. The work contains most
abominable details on the various description of tortura ; amongst which
one of the most excruciating is that of a goat Ucldng almost to death the
feet of a victim covered ivith salt.

3817 Inquisition. Masini (F. Eliseo) Sacro Arsenale overo Prattica dell'

Officio della S. Inquisitione ampliata, scarce 4:to. Roma, 1639

In this and the four following lots W3 have five different editions of the cele-
brated Sacro Arsenale, which was the Inquisition oficial code, when Galileo
was condemned by that odious tribunal. In this Arsenale we always find
Esame rigoroso and tortura used in a s}^lonimous sense, and we therefore
have here an official proof of the torture having been inflicted on Galileo.
All the impressions of this work are exceedingly scarce, the copies having
been destroyed with the utmost care in Italy, and it would perhaps be
impossiljle to find in any other public or private collection so many editions
of this famous work. See also No. 3049 in the present Catalogue.

3818 Inquisition. Sacro Arsenale overo Prattica dell' Officio della Santa

Inquisitione per F. Eliseo Masini, vellum 4/0. Genova, 1653

In this description of the various Tortures to be employed by the Inqui-
sition (and the work states " Torturare uegotio miportantissimo,") the
Torture by Fire (or Tormcnto del Fuoco as it is not inaptly termed) directs
the victim to be exposed " nudatis pedibus illisque lardo porcino inunctis
et in cippis juxta ignem validum retentis, &c." In this work " Essame
rigoroso" always means "torture."

In this abominable Code of the Inquisition (of which nearly all the copies
were suppressed and destroyed) the tortures inflicted on the victim are
most minutely described. The rigoroso Esame to which Galileo was
submitted was undoubtedly the Tortura, as is clear from this work, in which
both are used as synonimous.

3822 Inquisition. Menghini (T.) Eegole del Tribunale praticate in alcuni

Casi imaginarii 4^o. Ferrara, 1687

A work of great rarity, printed only for the use of officials, whose Heirs
or Executors in case of death, were compelled to return it to the Holy
Tribunal (See Nona Memoria at the beginning). This book contains the
most extrordinary cases. See, for instance (p. 23) " Terza Denunzia d'una

430 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF

3912 Jaeet (Nic.) Commune Sanctortjm

Manuscript on yellum, exquisitely written in imitation of printing
hy this celebrated Calligraphist , the most eminent of France, and
adorned tvith cajyitals painted in gold and colours. Three beautiful
delineations of Saints (St. John the Baptist, St. Augtistin and St.
John Chrysostom), executed in body colours in the best style of
French art, are inserted in the volume, folio. S-^c. xvii {circa IGIO)

From the Libraiy of Louis XVtli, splendidly bound in blue morocco, super
extra, gilt edges, with broad dentelle borders, by De Rome, having the
Royal Arms stamped in gold on sides. It is lettered on back "Le Commun
des Saints. Manuscrit de N. Jarry avec Miniatures." It formed subse-
quently a prominent gem (lot 71) in the Chardin Collection, sold at Paris
in 18n.

Nicholas Jarry is now acknowledged to have been the most skilful
penman France has ever produced, and specimens of his skill are eagerly
sought after by collectors and enormous prices paid for them. The date
of his death is uncertain, but, as is well known, his chefs-d'oeuvre of pen-
manship were executed between 1640 and 1663. Respecting Jarry and
his extraordinary skUl, see Brunet, who devotes a long article to this
celebrated calligrapher.

A most important biographical and bibliograpical account of all the works
written or printed by Members of the Society of Jesus. The titles of
the writings of the English Jesuits, described herein, could with difficulty
be derived from other sources. It contains much recondite information
respecting the opponents of Gahleo, as well as regarding the missions of
the Jesuits in America and the East.

the end is inserted in MS. " Defense de M. de Montvalon contre la Plainte

The chief contributors to this excellent journal, which contains many of the
best mathematical papers in the French language, were Lagrange, La
Place, Monge, Poisson, Prony, Fourcroy, Vauquelin, Lacroix, Hachette,
Legendre, Haiiy, &c. &c. The Yllth and Vlllth Cahiers originally con-
tained the first portion of the " M^canique Philosophique," by Prony, but
the author never having completed that rather dull work, those cahiers
were reprinted, and instead of M. Prony's work, the admirable and almost
unknown lectures delivered to the first Ecole Normale by Lagi-ange and
La Place, on Arithmetic and other portions of elementary mathematics,
were substituted as they are in the present copy. The XlXth part, or
cahiei; contains the celebrated " Theorie de la Chaleur," by Poisson. These
first nineteen parts form the most important aud rarest portion of the col-
lection. The subsequent ones can at any time be readily procured from Paris.

covered between ]\Iars and Jupiter. So little was the autlior known at th
time of its first publication, in 1597, that, instead oi Kejjlerus, the catalogue
of the Frankfurt Fair has printed its announcement under RepUrus. The
Stereometria is the scarcest of Kepler's works, and, according to M. Chasles,
the application of the infini to Geometry first occurs in this publication.

new doctrines.

plates, Pisauri, 1618, vellum folio, in one vol.

The work of Colle, which is a sort of cyclopaedia of arts and sciences, was
unknown to Lalande. The portion respecting vulgar errors is very curious.
The Harmonices Mundi (with musical notes), one of the scarcest of Kepler's
Avorks, contains his immortal discoveries, both astronomical and geo-
metrical, which were neglected for more than half-a-century, as he himself
seemed to foresee, when, in the prooemium of the fifth book of this work, he
wrote the following memorable sentence : " Librumque scribo, sen prse-
sentibus sen posteris legendum, nihil interest, expectet ille suum lectorem
per annos centum si Deus ipse per annorum ses millia contemplatorem
praestolatus est.

incorrectly, solely on the authority of the Catalogue of Hevelius. Delam-
bre, however, has devoted several pages to it in his Astronomic Moderne.

(adversus E. Fludd). ivith tahles, vellum folio. Franco/. 1621-2

This work which was first published ui 1596, was the earliest of Kepler's
productions, and the germ of genius it displayed stamped him at once as
the rising mathematician of his Age. See also lots 3970 and 3982 in the
present Catalogue.

Brunet, nor was it known to Niceron. Lalande (who never saw it)
quoted it only on the authority of Weidler.

This copy belonged to the celebrated Astronomer, Jerome de Lalande,

exact Tables for all tlie Planets, and that they were the best until the new
ones were made by Cassini, Halley, and others.

This work, which is important for the History of Astronomy, is perhaps the
most curious of Kircher's publications. The discussion whether the water,
which the author assei'ts to be in the Planet Venus, may be used for
Baptism, and some other extraordinary things of a similar nature, have
rendered the possession of the book interesting to collectors.

This verj^ curious work, containing a Dictionarium Pentaglossura and Epis-
toliogi-apliia Pentaglossa (Lat. Ital. Gall. Hisp. et Germ.) similar to that
recommended by Becher but never executed, is divided into three Essays ;
the first being a Pasigraphy, in a system nearly identical with that which
Cambry published in 1805, The second is a more ingenious system of
Stenography than that of Trithemius. The third presents a stegano-
graphic Bureau for reading and writing expeditiously in a cypher that
cannot be deciphered except by the proper key

4007 Kircheri (A.) Mundus subterraneus, 2 vol. in 1, portrait and numerous

folding plates, vellum folio. Amstelodami, 1665

A most curious work. Kircher is said to have examined the interior of
Mount Vesuvius suspended by a rope, and must have seen under the
influence of the sulphuric vapour, the giants, dragons, and other fabulous
animals he records in this publication.

4008 Kircheri (A.) Magneticum Naturae Eegnum, vellum 4<to. Momae, 1667

4048 Lalande (Jerome de) Bibliographie Astronomique avec I'Histoire de

I'Astronomie depuis 1781 jusqu'a 1802, half hound, 4:to. Park, 1803

This extensive Bibliography (966 pages) is indispensable to astronomers.
The learned Professor De Morgan speaking of it says, " A most useful
work, almost perfectly complete. The two indexes (authors and subjects
b^ M. Cotte) are exceedingly good, so that this is perhaps the most easily
used book on bibliography which exists. Lalande was the greatest astro-
nomical gossip in Europe, and his portion of history, and the occasional
remarks appended to the titles of the books, contain uiformation it might
be difficidt to find elsewhere."

Lamprias was the son of Plutarch. From this scarce and little known volume
we find how many works of the celebrated Plutarch have been lost.

4069 Lana (F.) Prodromo di alcune Inventioni nuove, plates

scarce, fine copy, vellum folio. Brescia, 1670

The invention which Father Lana has published in this very curious Prodromo
are almost innumerable in every branch of science and art, even in painting.
Amongst those most worthy of attention are his method for writing in
cypher, for telegi'aphs, for teaching the blind to wi-ite, for the instruction of
the deaf and dumb, for balloons or aerial machines, for telescopes, micro-
scopes, &c. without taking into account his directions for his universal
panacea, for perpetual motions, for the transmutation of metals, for making
the philosopher's stone, and for similar vagaries of one of the most learned
philosophers of his time.

4070 Lanis (F. T. De) [Lana] Magisterium Naturae et Artis Opus Phy-

sico-Matbematicum, 3 vol. plates
vellum folio. Brixice et Barmce, 1684-92

This work may be regarded as an attempt to explain various theories
advanced in the Prodromo. The third volume, which did not appear until
after the author's death, is said by his biographer Eyries to be "tres-rare."
It would require an explanatory volume to give an idea of this Avork, which
is truly a cyclopedia of all sciences connected with natural philosophy.

4071 Lancilotti (C.) Guida alia Chimica, che introduce gli Aifetionati alia

Operationi Medicinali, &c. 2 vol. in 1
vellum 12mo. Modona, 1672

4079 Landi (0.) Paradossi cioe Sententie Puori del comun parere

calf, large copy small Mo. Lione, Q. Pullon da Trino, 1543

First edition of tliis licentious work, and extremely rare. The name of the
author is not given in the titlepage, but from Mascranico's address to the
readers we learn, "L' Autore della jiresente opera il qual fu M. O. L. M.
detto per sopra Nome il Tranq." the said initials signifying " Messer
Ortensio Landi Milanese," with the addition " detto il Tranquillo," a fact
confirmed by the last words of the Paradossi " Suisnetroh Tabedul,"
which read backwards give " Ludebat Hortensius." The work was trans-
lated into French by Ch. Estienne, who, however, had grace enough, says
Brunet, to suppress "les passages les plus licencieux et les plus impies."
One of the Paradoxes is " Che 1' Opre di Gioan Boccaccio non sieno degne
d'esserlette (ispecialmente le dieci giornate)."

The pretence of this curious work being a translation is a mere fiction. The
final inscription " Suisnetroh Sudnal Rotuat Se," reversed gives " Hortensius
Landus autor est."

A very fine Manuscript, with occasional commentary on the margins, having
the intitulations in red ink. The fom-th book of the Chirurgia Magna
treating de Fractura Ossium is entitled " De Algebra." Lanfrancus was
the most famous surgeon of his time, and in 1295 resided in Paris when
expatriated on account of the feuds of the Guelfs and Ghibelines.
Theodoric is supposed to have died in 1298. On the interior of the
covers of this volume are pasted a portion (four leaves) of a totally
unknown musical work, entitled " Epithalamia in Houorem ornatissimi

First edition of this very curious work, which was rigidly suppressed at the
instigation of Seguier, Avocat-General, as seditious, blasphemous, &c. In it
the author strongly advocates religious toleration, the gradual suppression
of convents, the abolition of the slave trade, &c. &c.

4102 Lauderdale. A Letter sent to D. L. by Vox Populi

4^0. without place or date (1719)

A very curious tract, advocating the doctrine of slaying Tyrants, as " all
remedy therefore against a Tyrant is Ehud's Dagger," &c. Some of the
language is very uncouth. The author tells the duke that he had " set at
nought" our English Parliament, calling them " The many headed Beast,"
that.if they addrest against you "You would fart at them," and if they
bark at you, " You had a dog in your Arse would not only bark at but bite
them," comparing them with " a fart, which makes a great noise and goes
off with a stink," &c.

It is well known that the philosophy of Aristotle, which was so strenuously

maintained by the Roman Church against Galileo, had been previously

condemned by the same Church, and even by the Fathers, who directed

Pcripaticians to be burnt.

This valuable work was translated mto English on account of its rarity,
which the Ti'anslator states to be so great that 100 pistoles had been given
for a copy. Leonardi mentions the polarity of the Magnet. He also
(fob XLVTiI) speaks of Francesco de Bologna, alias Francia, as a skilful
engraver, and also of other cotemporary sculptors, a quotation very ably
employed by M. Panizzi in his admirable dissertation, " Chi era Francesco
da Bologna." Amongst Painters he commends Pietro Borgo and Melozo
of Ferrara, " qui pingendi regulas Geometricis Arithmetricis ac Perspec-
tivis regulis miro ordine industria ac docti'ina iustituerunt," and praises
exceedingly Ant)REAS Mantegna.

This is the first volume of a contemplated edition of the entire -works of Fibo-
nacci, the most celebrated Mathematician of the Xlllth Century. This
Liher Abbaci is complete in itself, and was wi-itten in the year 1202. About
20 years ago M. Libri called attention to the work by publishing a chapter
from it relating to Algebra. The rest remained inedited until now, when
Prince Boncompagni, with his usual munificence, determined to present
to the public the important writings of this early Pisan Mathematician.
This volume does very great credit to the noble editor.

Bembo, dated San Domingo, 1543, we find a curious and full narration of
the discoveries made by Orellana down the Maranon, from Peru to the
Atlantic ocean, in quest of King Dorado, who (it was stated) instead of
wearing dresses, used every day to be covered over his skin with gold dust.

frutto ;" Doni, however, places it amongst the productions of his father, and
Mazzuchelli does the same. A Capitolo (in terza Rima) entitled " el
Pedaute " is printed very oddly, a portion being in the beginning and the
rest at end of the book.

" The Royal Dramatic College,"

Desires to make Known, that THE IMPRESSION, Six Hundred Copies,

at the House of Business of the Author, by

HIS PARTNER, MR. JOHN WILKINSON,
in like manner as the 230 copies of The Principia Typographica, 3 vols. 4to.

RAMBLINGS IN THE ELUCIDATION

THE AUTOGRAPH OE MILTON,

BY

SAMUEL LEIGH SOTHEBY, F.S.A.

SPECIMEN COPIES WILL BE EXHIBITED TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE SALE TAKES PLACE.

It is a great relief to the mind, after many years of untiring perseverance upon one
subject, to find another of a less laborious nature, yet equally congenial to one's peculiar
taste, as a temporary substitute for a pursuit which, though interrupted, has been the
pleasurable amusement of earlier days. I allude to my " Bibliographical Account of
the Pnnted Works of the English Poets to the period of the Restoration.

Such has been the case in the prosecution of the researches which will form the subject
of the volume announced ; a work which would not have been undertaken but for the
l;indness received from the late Rev. Dr. Bandinel in superintending the execution of fac-simile
Of the autograph inscription in the copy of the first edition of the " Poems of Milton,"
piesented by the Poet to Dr. Rous. — The facilities afforded for the examination, at Trinity
College, Cambridge, of that far-famed volume containing the Juvenile Poems in the
AuxoGEApH op the Poet, followed by the kind permission of Trinity College, to make
use' of the volume, under the assisting inspection of those in whose charge it is kept. —
The immediate acquiescence on the part of Sir John Romilly, the Master of the Rolls,
to alow of fac-similes to be made of various portions of the original Manuscript of
" .C^ Doctrind Christiana" preserved in the State Paper Ofiice, where I have had the kind
aid (jf Mr. Lechmere and Mr. Lemon ; and, lastly, though not least, the uniform courtesy,
inquiries, received from Sir Frederick Madden at the British Museum.
/he text will be illustrated with ten plates of fac-similes from the Autograph Poems of
M^ton, preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, including the first page
(f 1^^ Arcades ; " '■'■Comus;" '■'■ Lycidas ; " '■^ First Design of Paradise Lost ; " ^^ Designs
Ef)British Tragedies" two pages ; " Sonnets" &c. ; numerous other plates of Autograph

«6cuments in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ; the State Paper Ofiice ; the British Museum,

'd Eiany other sources, including above Ten Specimens by the

PROCESSES OF THE ELECTRO-PRINTING BLOCK COMPANY,
the upp. r side of the outer covers of the binding will be a Design, by J L. TopPER,
cniipKtiatical oi Paradise Lost, the other side having one of Paradise Regained.

On (\?yinner side of the cover will be Two Photograph Portraits of Milton — one from
thi^ origiiti/l cast taken from the life about 1654, — the only one taken. The Bust has been
most careitUy preserved at Christ's, — Milton's own, — College, Cambridge, the Authorities
thereof havfli^^gracicusly allowed me to make use of it. The other portrait, with the kind
permission of Wwian^ Baker, Esq., of Bayfordbury, will be from the little known but beau-
tiful Crayon Di'aw )% taken fom life about 1666.

Unlike my lai woir, " The Principia Typogkaphica," I am induced to think that the
one heie . ■ )ed.4t the moderate price of £2. 12s. &d. at the utmost, will yield a

profit; bi;i. Jesire^o "^m< money rn m?/^Mrse" by my literary amusements, being

quite conteii -^.^ ae emohni)^»uteof my business by the kind support of the public, and
valuable aid trn,> Partner and S^SSL it is my intention to devote whatever pecuniary
advantage may ■xclse. from the sale ot l^ announced issue of the work to the funds of
the several benevolent institutions above mentioned.
